As he said, two local residents of Soh enclave (ethnic Tajiks) illegally crossed the frontier of two countries. "Two citizens of Uzbekistan started to behave quite inadequately and attacked Kyrgyz frontier guards during an arrest attempt by the employees of Frontier Service of Kyrgyzstan," C. Turusbekov informed.

As he said, spontaneous gathering of local residents provoked the incident. The crowd started throwing stones at the employees of Frontier Service of Kyrgyzstan. Two military men were injured as a result.
