What is happening in Kyrgyzstan?

Russian media reports:

"The explosion on Ata-Jurt leader Rosa Otunbaeva's balcony is part of the opposition's big show." This was declared by Abdil Segisbajew, press secretary of the Kyrgyz President. (...)

Segisbajew said that "society has lost interest in these people and they are resorted to evoke coverage like this."

Well, leaving out the government official's ramblings, this is still very uneasy news. According to the same source, unknown people tried to gain access to Otunbaeva's flat and after an unsuccessful attempt to break the door they threw light explosives up to her balcony.

Denying the seriousness of this attack is a dangerous sign coming out of Kyrgyzstan.

UPDATE: RFE/RL has a report on this story, too:

Roza Otunbaeva told a media rights conference (National Forum on Protecting Mass Media in Kyrgyzstan) in the capital that her apartment is under reconstruction and that no one was inside at the time of the blast.

Otunbaeva said she thinks the blast, which damaged her flat and other flats in the building, represents a "message" from Kyrgyz authorities.

"I think that this has the 'handwriting,' the attitude of the government toward the opposition," Otunbaeva said. Not only the press but democracy itself is in danger in this country. But we will not give it up."

Otunbaeva, an opposition leader and former foreign minister, is a leading critic of the country's 27 February parliamentary elections, which authorities blocked her from running in.

According to forthcoming information from Thinking-East, protests are meanwhile boiling up in Uzbek areas. Damira reports that

"the post-election mood in the country varies from region to region. Today when I attented a forum one delegate from the Noken region (situated in the south) warned the participants (there were representatives from government, opposition, local and international journalists, civic organizations) that tomorrow a very serious conflict between Kyrgyz and Uzbek in Noken region may arise. This is going to happen because the inhabitants of this region demanded resignation of the local akim (the head of the region's authority) for his unfair policy which he showed during the election campaign. So the akim, an ethnic Uzbek asked the Uzbek inhabitants to stand for his interests and protect him from Kyrgyz protesters."
