The anti-terror operation has started. The statement came from President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev of Kazakhstan during a consultation Friday morning, the presidential press service reported.

"The law enforcement is carrying out intense work. The constitutional order is mainly restored in all regions of the country. The local authorities are monitoring the situation. But the terrorists use weapons, as before, damaging the property of the citizens. Therefore, it is necessary to continue the anti-terrorist operations until the complete destruction of the militants," Tokayev added.

The present-day situation in Kazakhstan, the course of the anti-terrorist operation, and the situation in the country’s regions were discussed during the meeting.
