Kazakhstan: 'Ethnic clashes' kill eight, injure dozens - BBC News
At least eight people have died and dozens have been injured in reported ethnic clashes in Kazakhstan.
About 30 houses and 15 commercial properties were destroyed during the clash in Masanchi village on Friday.
Ethnic Kazakhs clashed with members of the Dungan minority group and Hui Muslims, a group that migrated from China in the 19th Century, reports say.
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said the area was "under the control" of the police and national guard.
Fighting occurred in a number of settlements in the Kordai district between local residents, Mr Tokayev said at a press conference. Police arrested 47 people.
