Kazakhstan denies reports of drones launched from its territory into Russia

Following an attack on the Omsk region of Russia using unmanned aerial vehicles, speculation began to spread in public media that these devices had been launched from the territory of Kazakhstan. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Due to these reports causing various misunderstandings among the public, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan issued an official statement. The ministry categorically denied these allegations in its statement, calling them unfounded claims lacking any evidence.

According to reports, some Russian media outlets and experts in the field had suggested the possibility that drones used in the attack on the Omsk region could have flown from Kazakhstani territory. Such assumptions were primarily based on the fact that the Omsk region borders Kazakhstan directly.

However, such an approach is unfounded both technically and politically, and it is emphasized that explaining the situation solely based on geographical location is incorrect. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, commenting on the circulating information, stated that the allegations do not correspond to reality in any way.

As emphasized in the official statement, such unfounded information is regarded as an attempt to undermine the long-standing strategic partnership and traditionally friendly relations between Kazakhstan and Russia. The country has clearly stated its firm position against such provocations.

The official capital once again reminded that Kazakhstan’s foreign policy is based on the principles of good neighborliness, mutual respect, and non-interference in the internal affairs of other states. It was also noted that Kazakhstan consistently fulfills all its international obligations related to international law and security.

The ministry specifically emphasized that it has never and will never allow the use of its territory, airspace, or infrastructure for military actions or attacks against third countries.

In conclusion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged media outlets and public figures to exercise caution.

The ministry stressed the necessity of relying only on officially confirmed information, noting that the dissemination of unverified and false information can damage trust between the two countries. In such situations, transparency and accuracy were highlighted as the most important factors.
