The July reports
The Killid Group's July 5, 2021 reporting described Afghan forces withdrawing from districts in Badakhshan as the Taliban advanced. It cited Tajik state news agency Khovar's figure of 1,037 Afghan personnel crossing into Tajikistan. That was an attributed official count, not a total independently assembled by NewsCubby.

A Tajik government district site preserved another border-troops statement, dated July 4, describing 94 Afghan servicemen entering through a specified border area and being allowed in. That smaller report concerns a particular crossing; it should not replace or simply be added to the later figure without checking whether the reporting periods overlap. The July events occurred during the 2021 Taliban offensive and international withdrawal, not a new incident at today's border. The sources identify reported movements and the authorities' response; they do not supply a current border-access policy. Our World coverage is the route to later developments, while the archive keeps this dated account available for readers following older links.
