Clashes between ethnic Uzbeks and Kyrgyz erupted late at night of June 10th. The authorities have so far been unable to get the situation under control, although Interior Troop reinforcements from other districts, as well as police units from Bishkek have been sent to Osh to help out the local law enforcement agencies.
