A recent skirmish between security forces on the Kyrgyz-Tajik border, including against the background of a meeting of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization, which includes Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan), was a very unpleasant incident. But such things have happened before, since this is about a disputed section of the border.
