Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan report no major overnight incidents, indicating that a ceasefire agreed upon after intense border clashes remains largely in effect
Kyrgyzstan's border guards said in a statement that the two countries' national security chiefs had agreed to a ceasefire that began on Friday at 16:00 local time .
Kyrgyzstan, which on Friday reported 24 deaths and dozens of people wounded, said one border village was shelled by mortars for five minutes early on Saturday after an otherwise quiet night. Central Asian border issues largely stem from the Soviet era when Moscow tried to divide the region between groups whose settlements were often located amidst those of other ethnicities.
