Authorities described the violence as a terrorist attack and blamed it on radical Islamists. Kazakhstan's National Security Committee said in a statement Monday it raised the terror threat level to red after the attack on the police station. It would not elaborate Casualties were not officially reported but local media said at least seven police officers have been taken to hospital in critical condition.
