On May 20, six citizens of Tajikistan died on the Almaty – Yekaterinburg highway. They were heading to work in Russia and were involved in a traffic accident on the territory of Kazakhstan.
According to Kazakh media, the fatal accident occurred near the “Kairak” checkpoint in the Karabalyk district of the Kostanay region, not far from the Kazakh-Russian border.
