The Tajik side said in a statement that Kyrgyz border guards opened unprovoked gun and mortar fire on their outpost, killing one border guard and injuring another two, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.
Kyrgyzstan did not immediately report any casualties. More than one-third of the two countries’ 1,000km (600-mile) border remains disputed.
Both Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are allied with Russia and host Russian military bases, but fighting over border issues is frequent and last year almost resulted in an all-out war between the former Soviet republics.
Russia called on its Central Asian allies to take urgent measures to bring the situation on the border between the two countries back under control, the RIA Novosti news agency reported on Wednesday, citing a foreign ministry source.
A similar clash in June killed a Tajik border guard. Serious escalations are rare, but fears of a wider conflict stirred last year when dozens died in the worst confrontation between the pair in more than 30 years of post-Soviet independence.

Which side are we on?....................
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
Reminds me of a instance when two adjacent small towns police here in the panhandle stated shooting at each other.
It seems that one town’s policeman’s wife was having an affair with the other town’s policeman.................😜
The globalists are going full monty. Azerbaijan shelling Armenia proper, ongoing covert ops in Syria, and of course Ukraine.
The Covid Scamdemic was not quiet enough to do the trick, and "climate change" needs a little push, so The Great Reset still needs a Great War.
I wish it was that simple.
I don’t know. I guess we’ll find out when the little flags start popping up for whoever we’re supposed to give a crpp about.
It will be. We are being maneuvered into WW3. When it breaks out into the open in the coming days/weeks, we will see a “Super Patriot Act” along the lines of Wilson’s Sedition Act that will enforce full censorship, secret arrests, etc.
Look at the big picture, please.
A weakened Russia, means the Turks will eventually take over the area, as part of Ottoman Empire II.
Please see 5 and 8. Look at the “big picture” tapestry.
If you think the Patriot Act curtailed our freedom, wait until this kinetic WW3 we are being maneuvered into escalates, and we have total censorship, ala Wilson in WW1.
Please think big picture. Syria, Armenia, Ukraine, now this, it’s NOT a coincidence. At all.
That’s “medium picture,” but not “big picture.”
Big picture is Great Reset, global CBDC, global censorship, eat the bugs, obey your masters, shut up.

If we see a coup and Putin is deposed or Russia descends into chaos. It would become a chain reaction of various areas within Russian and the Russian puppet states declaring independence or fighting with each other for territory far worse than even 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed. Because back in 1991 there still was the illusion that the massive Russian army was powerful, Ukraine has dispelled that illusion.
The one ending in "stan". Which is either Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, or Tajikistan. Probably not Pakistan. Afghanistan is right out.
I under-stan.................😎
Turkey has to get their economic house in order first. Their inflation is insane!
Oh wait, before WWII didn’t some country have inflation so high people would give their kids money to play with because it couldn’t be used to buy toys?
Kyrgyzstan is mad that Tajikistan has all the vowels.
Take a close look at the borders between the stans. The borders are quite chaotic and there are tiny enclaves all along these borders. Look at Google Maps application for any number of examples. A sure fire recipe for conflict unless you have folks of good will on both sides. And they don’t.
