  ASTANA (Reuters) -Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on Sunday replaced two ministers in his government, including the transport minister, who he had previously criticized for delays in infrastructure modernisation. He fired Defence Minister Ruslan Zhaksylykov and replaced him with Zhaksylykov's deputy and Air Defence Forces chief Dauren Kosanov, according to decrees published on the president's site. Tokayev met Kosanov on Sunday and gave him several instructions, including strengthening the army's combat readiness, expanding the capabilities of the Special Operations Forces, and modernising the military's infrastructure.

Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has initiated a significant reshuffle of his cabinet, replacing the ministers of defense, emergencies, and digital development, as well as the mayor of Astana, in response to ongoing unrest and a deteriorating security situation. The new Defense Minister is Colonel General Ruslan Zhaksylykov, replacing Murat Bektanov, while Yuri Ilyin was appointed as the new emergencies minister, and Bagdat Mussin took over the digital development ministry. Additionally, Zhenis Kassymbek was named the new mayor of Astana. This reshuffle comes amid violent protests that have led to numerous deaths and injuries, with the government deploying troops and imposing a state of emergency to quell the disturbances.
