Number of killed Aktobe attackers reaches 13
On Sunday, unidentified armed assailants attacked two arms shops and a military unit in Aktobe.
In response, country's authorities announced an anti-terrorism operation. On Monday, Kazakhstan's Interior Ministry said that five attackers were killed during the operation.
"At the moment 13 criminals from amongst the attackers are killed, four injured as a result of active armed resistance and seven are on the wanted list," Almas Sadubayev told RIA Novosti.
He added that country's law enforcement agencies do their best to detain the criminals, who still were at large.
According to the ministry, the Sunday attacks that resulted in deaths of at least six and injuries of some 10 people, were conducted by radical followers of non-conventional religious movements.
