Kazakhstan president: Nation under attack by foreign-trained gangs

Early today in a televised address, Kazakhstan's president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced that “Almaty was attacked, destroyed, vandalized, the residents of Almaty became victims of attacks by terrorists, bandits, therefore it is our duty … to take all possible actions to protect our state."

The Kazakh president said he had appealed to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) for help in quelling protests across the country that he said were led by "terrorist gangs".

The CSTO posted a statement on its website confirming the receipt of an appeal from Kazakhstan, confirming that the "CSTO Collective Security Council decided to deploy the CSTO Collective Peacekeeping Forces to the Republic of Kazakhstan for a limited period in order to stabilize and normalize the situation in the country."

On Wednesday night, it was reported that peacekeeping forces from a Russian-led military alliance would be dispatched to Kazakhstan to assist the government in regaining authority.
