The unprecedented crisis marks the worst violence Kazakhstan has seen since gaining independence three decades ago.<br \/>\nThe interior ministry said that 26 \u201carmed criminals\u201d had been \u201cliquidated\u201d and more than 3,000 detained since last weekend, while 18 police and national guard service members had also been killed. Fresh gunshots could be heard on Friday morning near the central square in the largest city, Almaty, where troops and protesters battled the previous day.<br \/>\nProtests, which are rare in the relatively stable former Soviet nation, began over rising fuel prices. But the rallies have since morphed into violent anti-government riots.<br \/>\nAt the request of Tokayev, Russia has sent \u201cpeacekeeping forces\u201d. They arrived on Thursday, amid warnings from the West to Moscow to respect Kazakhstan\u2019s sovereignty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nur-Sultan Kazakhstan\u2019s president has ordered security forces to open fire without warning as unrest continues in the tightly-controlled Central Asian state.
