In the Aksu district of the Zhetysu region, rescuers found a tourist who had been in the mountains for several days. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
The man went to the mountains on August 19 and planned to return in two days. When he did not get in touch and did not return on the third day, relatives called 112.
Rescuers from the Ministry of Emergency Situations and a helicopter of Kazaviaspas JSC were involved in the search. The tourist was found in a tent at an altitude of about 2000 meters above sea level.
