| Direct translation of the article [Regnum] Large-scale clashes between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, during which small arms, armored vehicles, artillery and aircraft were used, are over. The parties return troops to their places of permanent deployment, refugees go to their native villages. The victims are being counted and the damage caused is being recovered. Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have officially accused each other of aggression. Information confrontation is taking place in the media, social networks, as well as at the diplomatic level.

IA REGNUM has collected data on the number of people killed and wounded during armed clashes, as well as material damage. More at the link including tabular matter |
