This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
About 130 people are taking part in the search and rescue operation in the Medeu district — employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, police and volunteers. They are using 11 drones and aviation of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
The work is complicated by mountainous terrain, the large area of the territory being surveyed and a significant elevation difference. Rescuers are checking hard-to-reach areas, including gorges and mountain slopes.
