As a result of the conflict with Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan has suffered material losses of about $17 million, said at a press conference the Secretary of the Kyrgyz Security Council, Marat Imankulov, reports RIA Novosti.

He specified that these figures are not final and can be increased.

According to Imankulov, many houses, institutions, businesses and infrastructure were destroyed and burned as a result of the military actions.

"We will begin to restore all this in the near future, there is already a presidential decree," the secretary of the Security Council noted.

Another aggravation on the Kyrgyz-Tajik border occurred in the morning of September 16. The parties accused each other of firing. Fierce fighting continued throughout the day along almost the entire perimeter of the border, and a ceasefire was achieved only by nightfall. On the morning of September 17, sporadic clashes resumed.

According to Kyrgyz reports, the fighting killed 59 Kyrgyz citizens and injured 163. Tajikistan reported 41 dead and several dozen injured.
