Kazakhstan

Thanks to a "lurker" for a pointer to a recent ISIS attack in Kazakhstan, on June 5th 2016, which I had not spotted.

From the first, very limited news story found:

Kazakh security forces detained three men on Sunday suspected of being Islamist militants linked to deadly attacks a week earlier in the city of Akrobe, the National Security Committee said. Everyone linked to the June 5 attacks had now been detained or neutralised, it added, without going into further detail. At least 25 people including 18 attackers died during the assaults on a national guard base and firearms shops, and in the subsequent manhunt.
