Kazakhstan Mourns Teen Recruit's Death, Deputy Minister Comments

A 19-year-old recruit, Dinmukhamed, has passed away, sparking an investigation and comments from the Deputy Minister of Defense, Kuandyk Bektemisov. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan prepares for a 10 percent increase in compensation for loss of work ability and breadwinners, effective January 1, 2026.

The Ministry of Defense has begun looking into the cause of Dinmukhamed's death, with Bektemisov stating it's too early to determine the cause. In unrelated news, the Ministry of Health recently conducted an unscheduled inspection at a local hospital and found no violations by staff. This comes after a woman in Almaty discovered a gauze pad in her abdomen nine months after a C-section.

Turning to infrastructure, a new single-level interchange with a roundabout is planned for Almaty at the intersection of Ushkempir and Kapparov streets. The design work and state expertise are scheduled for January 2026, with the start date and final cost to be confirmed later. The interchange aims to ease traffic congestion, which often reaches 10 points during rush hour.

In another development, a trial has begun in Karaganda for a man who married a 15-year-old schoolgirl. The girl's father has filed a complaint against her mother and stepfather.

Compensation for loss of work ability and loss of breadwinner in Kazakhstan is set to increase by 10 percent from January 1, 2026. The amount varies per case, depending on individual factors. The Ministry of Defense continues to investigate Dinmukhamed's death, while a trial proceeds in Karaganda regarding a marriage involving a minor.
