Kyrgyzstan's border service reported "intense battles" with Central Asian neighbour Tajikistan on Friday and said it had seen additional Tajik forces and equipment being moved to the border.
In a statement, the border service said its forces were continuing to repel Tajik attacks. Both countries have accused each other of restarting fighting in a disputed area, despite a ceasefire deal.
Separately, the head of the Kyrgyz state committee on national security was quoted by Russia's RIA news agency as saying military casualties had been high.
