Russian-led troops to be sent to Kazakhstan amid unrest over spike in fuel prices | ITV News

Russian-led troops will be sent to Kazakhstan to help control violent clashes after a hike in fuel prices triggered protests across the country. The price of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) - which is what many Kazakhs use in their cars - doubled in a few days. On Wednesday that prompted thousands of people to take to the streets. Police used teargas and stun grenades when demonstrators wouldn’t go home.
