Residents of Aktau, one of the first to rise against the authorities, despite the imposed state of emergency, gathered again for a rally. The Politavr telegram channel circulated a video, which clearly shows that protesters are peaceful and there are no terrorists in the footage.

Even before the bloodshed in Almaty, it was reported that law enforcers took the side of the protesters in Aktau. Under the information blockade imposed by the Kazakh authorities, there is very scant information about the situation in the regions of the country.        

Meanwhile, the Kazakh authorities began to talk about the emergence of terrorists only after they had lost control of the situation in the country. The ruling party Nur Otan (Light of the Fatherland) has not even been able to make a statement so far, nor has the Kazakh parliament met. The day before, the Western media, representatives of the civil sector, and the opposition said that the military opened fire on mostly unarmed young men.
