A powerful explosion took place at a metal collection point located in the Boyserke village. As a result of this disaster, three workers lost their lives.
According to information, the deceased were citizens of Uzbekistan. According to the owner of the point, Amirbek Sherbayev, the explosion happened in a rented room.

Currently, criminologists and specialists from the Ministry of Defense are working at the scene. The area is completely closed off and no one is allowed in.
