Travellers at Almaty airport were seen walking along the runway next to planes on Wednesday, after protesters seized the building, prompting an evacuation.
According to local reports, the event occurred after a police cordon and airport employees left the transport hub. Protesters then gained access to the building, prompting travellers to evacuate.
Demonstrations over high oil prices are underway in Almaty, Uralsk, Aktau, Aktobe, Shymkent, and other cities. The regions are experiencing problems with communication, internet connection, and television broadcasting.
According to Kazakhstani media, demonstrators are storming buildings, setting up barricades, clashing with security forces, and committing arson.
Unauthorised rallies began in the Mangistau region of Kazakhstan on Sunday after prices for liquefied gas rose from 60 to 120 tenge (€0.12 to €0.24; $0.14 to $0.28) per litre from January 1. The price hike came after the government lifted price controls on liquefied petroleum gas citing a need to liberalise the market.
