The Kyrgyz side denied all accusations of deliberate actions aimed at escalating the situation in border areas.
“The information provided in the statement of the Tajik side is absolutely not true,” the statement notes.
In turn, the Border Service of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan accused the Tajik side of preparing firing positions, violating Kyrgyz airspace, and mining border territories.
On the morning of October 19, the Border Troops of the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan for the Sughd region, in its statement, accused the Kyrgyz side of taking “deliberate actions aimed at escalating the situation in border areas,” despite agreements established in Protocol No. 42 dated September 25, 2022.
Conflicts at the Tajik-Kyrgyz border have escalated in recent years. Earlier, from September 14 to 17 of this year, armed clashes occurred at the border, resulting in the deaths of over 150 people on both sides. The parties accused each other of aggression.
