Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan on Friday agreed a ceasefire to end a bout of border skirmishes this week, Russian state-owned news agency TASS reported, citing Kyrgyzstan's border service.

At least three people have been killed and 27 wounded since fighting over a disputed mountainous frontier area broke out two days ago.
