Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Sufian Qudah, said that Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi directed the Jordanian Ambassador in Kazakhstan to travel to the city of Atyrau (2500 km away from the capital, Nurstlan/Astana) to check on the injured Jordanians working with the Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) there and to follow up on the investigations.

Qudah added that five of the 107 Jordanians working at the site were slightly injured during the attack and they were taken to hospital and left after receiving the necessary treatment. He emphasized that they are all in good health conditions.

Qudah noted that the Ministry has contacted with the CCC in Kazakhstan and in Amman to ensure that the injured receive all their rights.

Qudah explained that since the news of the attack was spread, the Jordanian ambassador to Kazakhstan has officially requested the Kazakh competent authorities to take all necessary measures to provide immediate security protection for the Jordanian citizens there.

The spokesman confirmed that the authorities there responded to the request of the Jordanian embassy and that the matter is now under the control of security and work has been on the transfer of all citizens from that region to the area (Atrao) near the center of the province.

The Kazakh authorities there responded to the request of the Jordanian Embassy, Qudah noted, confirming that the situation is now under the control of security agencies, as all citizens were moved to the Atyrau area near the province's center.
