Two pupils received medical treatment for minor injuries following an axe attack carried out by a 15-year-old classmate at a school in Kulsary, Kazakhstan on 5 February.
The 10th-grade student has been detained and placed in a temporary detention facility after the violent assault, which occurred following a conflict between classmates. A criminal case has been opened against the teenage attacker, who has been registered with internal affairs bodies.
Police confirmed both injured pupils sustained minor wounds during the incident and received medical assistance. The Caspian Post reported the attack via Kazakh media, with footage of the aftermath circulating following the school violence.
Authorities have held the 15-year-old suspect’s parents administratively liable as part of the response to the attack. The punishment reflects parental responsibility provisions under Kazakh law regarding minors’ criminal actions.
Case materials have been forwarded to the education department and the juvenile affairs commission for further procedural decisions, police stated. These bodies will assess appropriate measures beyond the criminal proceedings against the teenager.
The violent incident at the western Kazakhstan school follows a dispute between students, though specific details of the conflict that preceded the axe attack have not been disclosed by authorities. Police have not commented on how the weapon was brought onto school premises.
The 15-year-old remains in the temporary detention facility whilst criminal proceedings continue. Registration with internal affairs bodies indicates ongoing monitoring and restrictions will apply to the teenager following the attack.
Both victims received prompt medical attention following the assault, with authorities describing their injuries as minor. Further details regarding their treatment and current condition have not been released.
The juvenile affairs commission will review the forwarded materials alongside education officials to determine what additional interventions may be required. The criminal case against the detained teenager will proceed through Kazakhstan’s juvenile justice system.
