“At 23:25 (20:25 Moscow time), there are 15 injured people with various injuries in hospitals,” the department said.

Earlier in Kyrgyzstan, the operation to detain Atambayev began. Later reports appeared that the ex-president of Kyrgyzstan was detained during the assault on his residence in Koy-Tash.

Along with this, Atambaev’s daughter, Aliya Shagieva, denied the information about the detention of her father.

According to her, Atambayev “didn’t run away anywhere, nobody detained him”.

Against the background of the events taking place in the country, the current President of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbai Jeenbekov interrupted his vacation and went to Bishkek.
