SCO anti-terror body reports foiling 273 attacks, detaining 3,000 in 2025

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization's Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure (RATS) claims to have foiled 273 terrorist attacks in 2025, detaining ~3,000 individuals and neutralizing ~2,500. The figures are unverified and likely aggregate member-state reporting, but signal sustained militant activity across Central and South Asia. The scale suggests ongoing regional instability, though the operational impact on broader security dynamics remains unclear.
