A man hiding in a booth was rescued in the Aktobe region.

According to a report on the agency's Telegram channel, on Saturday morning, a man born in 1969 set out on a snowmobile from a farming household in search of livestock.

By evening, worried relatives reached out to the rescuers, informing them that the villager had not yet returned and there was no communication with him.

Rescuers departed in two all-terrain vehicles to begin the search.

"After four hours of travel along a difficult road, the emergency responders found the missing man in a hut at one of the farms. Fortunately, he was unharmed," the report states.

It turned out that the man's phone had died, his snowmobile got stuck in the snow in the steppe, and he had to walk several kilometers to reach the hut.
