Pakistan has urged its citizens in Kyrgyzstan to remain indoors following violent attacks on foreigners in the capital city on Friday night. The Foreign Ministry disclosed that the unrest stemmed from an unspecified dispute involving migrants. In response to the escalating situation, 140 Pakistani students were evacuated from Bishkek and repatriated back to Pakistan.
A special flight carrying the returning students landed in Lahore, with plans for additional flights to bring back any individuals wishing to depart Bishkek in light of the recent violence. Reports from local media indicate that the clashes began after a confrontation between Kyrgyz locals and foreign residents in the city.
