24 military helicopters and 22 aircraft with 600 military personnel safely down in Uzbekistan, one plane shot down by air defence, crew ok. I assume the personnel were crews and engineers plus families? Some of the shots seen of captured helicopters were not airworthy.

Uzbekistan's neighbour Tajikistan said Monday it had allowed over 100 Afghan military members to land at Bokhtar airport in the south of the country.

'Tajikistan received SOS signals, after which, in accordance with the country's international obligations, it was decided to allow Afghan servicemen to land at the airport,' the Tajik foreign ministry's information department told Russian news agencies Interfax and RIA Novosti.

RIA Novosti reported that three planes carrying the soldiers had landed in Bokhtar during the night.
disturbing reports in link is Uzbekistan may return some soldiers that crossed the border.
