It should be noted that the security forces of Kazakhstan have also switched to round-the-clock operations due to the escalation of the conflict surrounding Iran.
The conflict began on February 28, when Israel and the United States launched massive air and missile strikes on Iranian cities and military facilities. In response, Tehran attacked Israeli and American bases in several countries in the Middle East. In the first hours of the conflict, several high-ranking Iranian officials and military personnel were killed. U.S. President Donald Trump announced the start of a military operation called "Epic Fury" in his address.
As a result of the attacks, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed, along with about ten high-ranking officials. His son Mojtaba Khamenei became the new Supreme Leader of Iran.
Tension in the region continues to persist.
