According to a source from “Asia-Plus”, yesterday around 1:00 PM, Kyrgyz border guards fired shots at the home of 39-year-old resident of the village of Somoniyon, Naim Abdulloev.

“Naim Abdulloev’s house is located near school No. 64 in the village of Somoniyon, opposite the Abu Bakr Siddiq mosque. Two out of three shots fired by Kyrgyz border guards hit an apple tree in the yard of the house,” the source noted.

Authorities from both countries have not yet commented on the shooting, which occurred a day after negotiations between the parties.

During the negotiations on March 12, both sides were prohibited from using weapons except in special cases. At the meeting last Saturday, both sides signed a document stating that “the parties will ensure the safety of people along the state border so that people can live in peace and tranquility.”

It was previously reported that on the morning of March 10, Kyrgyz border guards opened fire on several residents of the village who were planting trees on their land. Also, on the night of March 11, Kyrgyz border guards fired at two mahallas of the Chorkuh community in the Isfara district of Tajikistan.
