Kyrgyzstan interim leader Roza Otunbayeva has flown to Osh in the south of the country after the worst ethnic violence in two decades.

At least 191 people were killed in fighting between Kyrgyz and ethnic Uzbeks around Osh and Jalalabad.

About 400,000 people have been displaced by the unrest, with many Uzbeks fleeing into Uzbekistan.

The Red Cross (ICRC) has described the situation as an "immense crisis".

A government spokesperson said that Ms Otunbayeva would meet local leaders and visit hospitals during the trip.

"The aim of the visit is to acquaint herself with the situation and take necessary measures," the spokesperson told Reuters.

The unrest comes two months after the country's former president, Kurmanbek Bakiyev, was forced out of office in April.

Ms Otunbayeva's government has blamed the former leader for stoking the conflict.
