Clashes are taking place along the entire length of the Kyrgyz-Tajik border. MLRS "Grad" and tanks are used. The authorities of Kyrgyzstan are evacuating residents of border settlements.
Both countries are not only members of the CSTO, but also the SCO, whose summit opens right now in Uzbek Samarkand.
