Servicemen on the border between Kyrgyzstan and TajikistanDUSHANBE, Jan 27 Tajikistan, who went to the scene of the incident near the border with Kyrgyzstan with other civil servants, Sputnik reports. Intense shooting continues at the scene of the incident. Earlier on Thursday, the Kyrgyz border service announced the start of a shootout between Kyrgyz and Tajik border guards. According to the agency, the Tajik side uses grenade launchers and mortars. The cause of the conflict was the blocking of the highway connecting the Kyrgyz cities of Isfana and Batken by the Tajik military. The border between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan periodically becomes a zone of conflict between local residents and border guards of the two countries. The reason for this is the non-delimited areas where it is impossible to determine how the border between states runs.
