A memorial event titled "Mәңгілік сапта" was held at the Main Command of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan to honor the courage and selflessness of the guardsmen who gave their lives during the terrorist attack on military unit 6655 in the city of Aktobe in 2016.

During the ceremony, servicemen observed a moment of silence to commemorate the fallen heroes. This event symbolized profound gratitude for the steadfastness and loyalty demonstrated at a critical moment.

On June 5, 2016, at 14:35, a group of armed terrorists launched a brazen attack on military unit 6655, aiming to seize weapons, ammunition, and eliminate personnel. The first to confront the attackers were Major Daniyal Mailybaev of military counterintelligence, Private Sapar Dosbol, and Contracted Junior Sergeant Berik Kaliyev. All three died heroically, fighting to the end.

Junior Sergeant Kaliyev demonstrated exceptional bravery, resisting until his last bullet. Despite the enemy’s numerical advantage, the three-man guard detail acted strictly according to regulations, preventing the capture of the arms depot. The battle lasted about 15 minutes. Though outnumbered, the guardsmen's decisive actions thwarted the terrorists’ plans.

Soldiers inside the barracks at the time of the attack quickly followed protocol, barricading themselves and preparing to defend. Their coordinated and courageous response helped prevent the takeover of key facilities and minimized casualties.

The "Mәңгілік сапта" event serves as a solemn reminder of the high price military personnel pay to secure peace and safety for the nation. The heroism displayed in Aktobe will forever remain in the history of the National Guard as a symbol of true bravery, honor, and loyalty to the oath.

It is worth noting that on this day, all military units of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan hold commemorative events dedicated to those tragic events.
