Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev declared national mourning in the country after 164 people were killed in recent unrest and riot in the country. Flags were lowered at half-mast in all government buildings in the country and at foreign representative offices. The internet access has been restored after the access remained disabled for 5 days in Almaty. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan announced that a total of 7,939 people were detained during the efforts carried out to identify and arrest those who participated in the riots. Almaty Governor Bakytzhan Sagintayev also stated that life in the region is starting to return to normal.
US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had her bag stolen while dining at Capital Burger in Washington, DC. The stolen bag contained $3,000 in cash, ID, passport, house keys, medications, and a DHS access card.
Surveillance footage showed a masked man discreetly stealing the bag while Secret Service agents were present nearby. Authorities have not confirmed if Noem was specifically targeted. Former Secret Service officer Jonathan Wackrow called the incident a “security breach” warranting investigation.
