Islamabad, Pakistan: More than 650 Pakistani students were being repatriated from Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan's foreign minister said on Sunday, after clashes broke out between locals and foreigners near student accommodation in the capital Bishkek.
Four Pakistani students were injured overnight Friday when brawls erupted involving hundreds of students from different countries.
Students were ordered by authorities to stay indoors, students in the city told Pakistani media.
"Three special, commercial flights have been arranged," Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar told a press conference in Islamabad.
