Uzbek troops are reported to have retaken the border town of Korasuv, where locals threw out their leaders last week in a popular protest. A number of explosions and some gunfire was heard, but the takeover seems to have been largely peaceful with no reports of loss of life.
The uprising's leader, Bakhtiyor Rakhimov, who said he intended to build an Islamic state, has been arrested.
The uprising in Korasuv followed a bloody crackdown in nearby Andijan.
