The border between the Central Asian nations of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan has been closed after reports of a blast and shootings on the Uzbek side.
The Uzbeks have closed transit points after the explosion at a police station in the border town of Khanabad. This was followed by a shoot-out between police and armed men trying to drive through a police checkpoint.
