In Brief

A British family of three got stuck in a salt marsh in the Tuzbayyr tract, Mangystau. Emergency services spent over 24 hours extracting the vehicle with special equipment. No injuries reported.

In the Mangystau region of Kazakhstan, rescuers spent more than a day freeing a British family's motorhome that had become stuck in a salt marsh in the Tuzbayyr tract. The family — two adults and a 12-year-old child — were traveling in the motorhome when it became trapped in the viscous soil.

Emergency services received the distress call via 112. Due to the difficult terrain and sticky ground, the operation took over 24 hours. Using special equipment and manual digging, the vehicle was pulled to a safe area. No one was injured, and the tourists declined medical assistance.
