A family of tourists from the UK got stuck on a salt flat in the Mangystau region. Their motorhome became bogged down in mud near the Tuzbair tract. The rescue operation lasted over a day, with emergency workers manually digging out the camper and using special equipment. None of the two adults and a 12-year-old child inside the motorhome were injured.
