Uzbekistan says about 750 Afghan military personnel have arrived in the country in the past 48 hours.
About 600 of those were aboard Afghan military aircraft, while a further 158 troops crossed into the country on Sunday.
Uzbekistan shares a narrow northern border with Afghanistan.
Uzbek authorities said they forced down 46 military aircraft in the southern city of Termez.
According to the Uzbek prosecutor-general's office, one Afghan aircraft and the Uzbek fighter jet that was escorting it collided. Both pilots ejected.
Video posted to social media showed an Afghan Black Hawk helicopter on the ground on what was said to be an Uzbek farm with about ten Afghan air force crew onboard.
