"Today, the '112' service in the Zhambyl region received a report about a man's suicide attempt near a secondary school in the city of Taraz, who doused his clothes with gasoline and threatened to set himself on fire. Rescuers from the Ministry of Emergency Situations arrived quickly and prevented the self-immolation attempt using improvised means," the agency stated.
