In Brief

A British family's motorhome got stuck in a salt marsh in the Tuzbayyr tract. Emergency services spent over 24 hours extracting it with special equipment. No injuries reported.

In the Mangystau district of Kazakhstan, rescuers spent more than a day freeing a British family's motorhome that became stuck in a salt marsh in the Tuzbayyr tract. The family — two adults and a 12-year-old child — was trapped due to difficult terrain and sticky soil.

Emergency services received a call via 112. The operation involved special equipment and manual digging. The vehicle was eventually moved to a safe area. No injuries were reported, and the tourists declined medical assistance.
