As it turns out, the border armed conflict between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan has been going on for more than two days, as a result of which there are victims on both sides.

At this time, after a shootout at the border in Kyrgyzstan, they are preparing for negotiations with Tajikistan. President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov entrusted this mission to Deputy Prime Minister of the republic Artem Novikov. According to the press service of the head of state, at today's operational meeting with the participation of members of the government, dedicated to the aggravation at the border, he was appointed head of the working group on the settlement of the conflict. The President also instructed the country's Foreign Ministry to look for ways to peacefully resolve the current conflict situation.
And at the moment, according to the Kyrgyz press, three Kyrgyz border posts were fired on from the Tajik side. In response, the border special forces of Kyrgyzstan captured the Tajik outpost. Now from both sides to the border are transferred Tanks and other armored vehicles. It is noted that the parties are determined. This suggests that if the "hotheads" do not cool down, tank guns can also be used.
The reason for the conflict between Bishkek and Dushanbe lies in the unresolved territorial dispute, including the dispute over water resources. For aggravation, both sides reproach each other.
Meanwhile, neighboring Uzbekistan has called on Dushanbe and Bishkek to end mutual shelling and de-escalation. Message from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan:
