Over 400 Fight One Another, 8 Dead

As a result, 8 people were left dead, and dozens more were injured.

The mob burned cars and dwellings, making it look like a war zone.

Police have arrested 47 people.

Public - made images show buildings that seem completely burnt, while roads seem to be deserted.

Kazakhstan's President Kasssym-Jomart Tokayev told the government to examine “this serious incident”, prosecute the culprits and take care of the families of those killed and wounded.

Authorities said the cause was a conflict in the family, while later some provocations exploited the situation to begin a larger conflict.

So far there is no confirmation of whether the clashes are related to an ethnic conflict.
