Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have finished the process of removing their troops and weapons from the border on Monday, and the situation was stable and no incidents occurred.

“The sides have finished withdrawing the additional personnel and equipment away from the state border [and] inward,” a spokesperson for the border service said.

The clashes started on April 28 on the border between Batken region of Kyrgyzstan and the Sught region of Tajikistan over the Golovnoy water intake facility. Both of the countries’ militaries got involved on April 29, and Kyrgyzstan accused Tajikistan of using mortars, machine guns, and Mi-24 helicopters. However, in the evening, both countries agreed to stop the fighting.
