Almaty's thoroughfares and neighborhoods receive disconnection
Power outages have been reported in several districts of Almaty, Kazakhstan, according to various sources. The outage map provided by "Aะปะฐัะฐั Zharyk Company" indicates that the affected areas include Dostyk, Kalakaman-1, Kalakaman-2, Kargaly (Hantengri Residential Complex), Tuzova Street, Abay Street, Almaty Mall "Altyn Taraz" and multi-level parking, Ryskulov Avenue, Zhangel'dina Street, Bayanaul Street, Natarova Street, Khalyullin Street, Kuldzhin Highway, and Ryskulov Avenue.
The cause of the power outage is currently under investigation, but a separate report suggests that the disruptions may be linked to the ongoing Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. Specifically, the blockade of the Lachin corridor is believed to have led to interruptions in electricity, gas, and internet supplies in the region, causing the power outage in Almaty.
Electricity prices in Almaty have significantly increased as a result of the power outage, according to the report. A crew has been dispatched to the affected areas to address the outage, but the estimated restoration time is 2-3 hours.
It is unclear whether the power outage has disrupted any essential services in the affected districts, and the exact number of people affected is not specified in the report. The duration of the power outage is also not specified.
The power outage is affecting various locations in Almaty, including residential complexes, streets, malls, and parking areas. It is hoped that the situation will be resolved soon, and normal power supply will be restored to the affected districts.
