An injured 72-year-old Russian man and his son were evacuated from a mountain peak in the Talgar district of the Almaty region of Kazakhstan. This was reported on August 12 in the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic.

It is specified that the father and son went up to the Physical Education peak. On the evening of August 11, a massive stone fell on the 72-year-old tourist's leg, as a result of which he was seriously injured.
