Bishkek, Jan. 27, 2022. / Kabar /. The Tajik side is firing from mortars at power lines and border outposts of Kyrgyzstan, the press service of the Border Service of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan reported.
According to the information of the Border Service of Kyrgyzstan, at about 5:50 pm, Tajik civilians arrived in the area of Tort-Kocho in trucks loaded with stones. The citizens of Tajikistan unloaded the stones, thus blocking the Batken-Isfana highway. They were accompanied by border guards of Tajikistan.
Later following the meeting of the border representatives of the two republics, the highway was opened for traffic. But, despite the fact that the issue was resolved, the Tajik side, opened fire on the military personnel of Kyrgyzstan using mortars and grenade launchers on another section of the border in the area of Chyr-Dobo.
The Tajik border guards used weapons against the Kyrgyz military personnel in the area of Tort-Kocho as well.
The actions of the military of Tajikistan on the spot were coordinated by governor of the Sughd region, which confirms the advance preparation of the provocation.
The use of mortars, which are not included in the regular set of border troops, demonstrates that the border troops of the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan use the forces and means of the Armed Forces of Tajikistan, which is a gross violation of international and bilateral agreements between countries.
The Tajik side is firing from mortars at power lines and border outposts.
The demands of the Kyrgyz side for a ceasefire are being ignored by the Tajik military, the report said.
