As a result of the events in the city of Nukus, unfortunately, several citizens died and suffered.

In this regard, I express my heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones. I wish the patients who are being treated in hospitals speedy recovery.

At such moments, we feel even more deeply how precious peace and human life are, how important it is to preserve tranquility, and that we are all responsible for it,” said the president.
