Social media users are sharing horrifying footage from the scene. Authorities have ordered law enforcement to harshly suppress the demonstrations, with reports of firearms being used.

The number of casualties and injuries has not been officially reported yet, but it is likely that the figure exceeds several dozen. Currently, according to Uzbekistan's Ministry of Internal Affairs, order has been restored, and efforts are underway to engage with the protesters.
