AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Earthquakes: A magnitude 10.0 quake struck near Zhabagly in Kazakhstan’s South Kazakhstan region (depth 10 km), while a separate 4.5 quake hit Tajikistan near Murghob (depth 155.9 km). Space & Baikonur: NASA astronaut Anil Menon will launch from Kazakhstan’s Baikonur on July 14 for an eight-month ISS mission aboard Soyuz MS-29, joining Expedition 74 crew. Fuel squeeze at home: Despite big gas reserves, many Kazakhs still rely on dangerous gas cylinders; a recent Shchuchinsk blast that killed 12 has reignited pressure on energy distribution safety. Border crackdown: Kazakhstan has set up 59 police checkpoints on the Russia border and says 255 cases of illegal extra fuel tanks were found this year. Energy fallout from war: Ukraine-linked strikes have disrupted Russian refining, including a reported halt at Saratov after a drone attack—raising regional fuel concerns. Finance & law: The AIFC Court revoked an enforcement order tied to Naftogaz’s $1.4bn claim against Gazprom, citing lack of jurisdiction. Culture: Jackie Chan’s new film “Armor of God: Ultimatum” begins filming in Almaty from July to October 2026.
