The parties agreed on a ceasefire on September 16.
- On September 14, a shootout between border guards took place on the border of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
- The section of the border between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, from time to time, becomes a zone of conflict between the local population or the border guards of the two countries. The main reason is undemarcated areas where it is impossible to determine where the border between states lies. According to the State Security Committee of Kyrgyzstan, the common border with Tajikistan is 972 kilometers long, of which 519 are agreed, and 375 kilometers remain unagreed.
