Attacks in Kazakhstan's Aktobe Signs of Color Revolution Attempts
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to Kazakh leader Nursultan Nazarbayev over a terror attack in the city of Aktobe that left seven people dead on the day of mourning, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday.

On Sunday, unidentified armed assailants attacked two gun shops and a military unit in Aktobe. In response, the country's authorities announced an anti-terrorist operation. Kazakhstan’s Interior Ministry said that security forces killed 13 attackers who were radical followers of non-conventional religious movements, according to the ministry.

"Due to the fact that today, June 9, has been declared a national mourning day in Kazakhstan, President [Vladimir] Putin sent to President of Kazakhstan [Nursultan] Nazarbayev a telegram expressing condolences over the death of Kazakh military personnel and civilians as a result of a terrorist attack in the city of Aktobe. I repeat once more: it is due to the fact that precisely today was declared a day of national mourning by our Kazakh friends," Peskov said.

On Wednesday, Nazarbayev said the Aktobe attacks were the signs of a planned color revolution in the country. He called on the Kazakhs to be vigilant and stop any calls to "violent illegal actions" and assist the country's security forces.
