The growing political unrest in Kyrgyzstan has prompted the U.S. military to limit flights at the base it maintains in the Central Asia country.

Opposition leaders declared Wednesday they had seized power in Kyrgyzstan, taking control of security headquarters, a state TV channel and other government buildings after clashes between police and protesters left dozens dead.
