A serious and tragic incident occurred in the Almaty region of Kazakhstan. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
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.

The metal was purchased at a low price, and no one knew the composition of the items brought. He also emphasized the possibility that unused mines belonging to the Ministry of Defense might have been mixed in.
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.
