Nearly one hundred people were rescued from a closed section of road in the Kostanay region (photos and videos available).

According to the official Telegram channel of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kazakhstan, approximately 100 people have been rescued in the Kostanay region.

Last night, in the Amangeldy district, 22 km from the village of Amantogai, the Ministry of Emergency Situations successfully rescued 98 individuals on a closed section of the "Auliakol - Zhaldama" road, including 18 children. Among the rescued, 7 people, including 6 children, were taken to a warming center in the village of Amantogai. Additionally, 8 cars were towed from the snowdrift to a cleared section of the road.

In the Sarykol district, 5 km from the village of Sonaly, the Ministry of Emergency Situations towed 1 car from a snowdrift to a cleared section of the "Sarykol - Komsomolskoye" road, which had 2 people inside.

No one required medical assistance.

It is worth noting that earlier in early February, despite warnings about bad weather, some residents of the southern regions of the republic found themselves trapped in snow on the roads. At that time, rescuers freed around 200 people.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminded of the importance of following safety rules during adverse weather conditions:

Rescuers on the website of the emergency department in one of the regions of the country recommend being especially vigilant during bad weather, keeping an eye on weather updates, and monitoring outdoor temperatures. Blizzards and snowdrifts pose particular dangers in winter, especially for those caught in transit. Consequently, drivers and passengers are given the following advice:

"Exhaust gases emitted by the engine and gradually accumulating in the car's interior can kill you much faster than the harshest frost," warn rescuers.
