At the peak of summer, the southern regions of the country have been hit by intense heat. Residents are heading en masse to the nearest bodies of water suitable for swimming. Among the most popular spots are the Kapchagai Reservoir, located near the city of Konaev, and the artificial Sairan Lake in central Almaty.

The presence of families with small children at the beaches is of particular concern. In just one day, National Guard servicemen prevented three incidents involving children who had gone missing without supervision in crowded recreational areas.

At the Kapchagai Reservoir, servicemen of military unit 3660 found two children left unattended. Both were safely reunited with their parents.

In one case, a distressed woman approached the commander of the patrol detail, Private Azamat Baigul, in the evening. She reported that she had lost sight of her twelve-year-old son and feared he might have drowned. Private Baigul immediately organized a search operation, involving his fellow servicemen — Privates Aybek Tagaykhan and Bakhbergen Säripbek. The boy was found on the opposite side of the beach and returned to his mother.

In another incident, a woman approached squad commander Private Kanafia Äbdikärim and reported that she had put her four-year-old daughter down for a nap but later could not find her. The commander promptly relayed the information to the patrol group. Thanks to the coordinated efforts and attentiveness of Privates Alibi Aidarkhan and Erzhegit Batyrbek, the girl was found and reunited with her parents.

Later that same evening, a report came in about a five-year-old boy who had gone missing along the shore of Sairan Lake. Servicemen of military unit 5571 — patrol commander Private Abzal Imankulov, along with Privates Zhanbolat Musa and Sherkhan Zhusekeev — quickly located the child and handed him over to his mother.

“In recent times, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of children getting lost on beaches. We urge all vacationers to remain extremely vigilant, especially when accompanied by children. Under no circumstances should small children be left unsupervised. The responsibility for a child’s safety lies, first and foremost, with the parents. This must never be forgotten!” emphasized Captain Bakytzhan Mombiev, Deputy Battalion Commander.

The National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan urges citizens to follow safety rules at bodies of water and recreational areas.
