Protesters broke into the Almaty mayor's office and set it on fire on Jan. 5, 2022. There were attempts to storm buildings overnight in the country’s largest city, Almaty, and “dozens of attackers were liquidated,” police spokeswoman Saltanat Azirbek said. Kazakhstan is experiencing the worst street protests the country has seen since gaining independence three decades ago. Kazakhstan has been rocked by intensifying protests that began on Sunday over a sharp rise in prices for liquefied petroleum gas fuel. The protests began in the country’s west but spread to Almaty and the capital Nur-Sultan.
