Two sides reached a truce after clashes between local residents along a disputed segment of the Kyrgyz-Tajik border left at least three people dead and scores wounded in the volatile region.
At least three people were killed, including a 13-year-old girl, and over 80 injured on the Kyrgyz side during the April 28-29 clashes according to the Kyrgyz Health Ministry.
The two countries' foreign ministries announced they had agreed to cease-fire after hours of talks and would stick to it and withdraw military forces while resolving the conflict through diplomacy.
The Kyrgyz-Tajik border conflict can be traced back to opposing territorial claims in the border area of the two states.
The unclear demarcation of boundaries is regularly the trigger for partly armed clashes between Kyrgyz and Tajiks in the disputed areas. (ILKHA)
