Migration Agency refutes media reports on Uzbeks injured in Amur region bus crash

Uzbekistan’s Migration Agency has refuted reports claiming that Uzbek citizens were on board a bus belonging to the Turkish construction company Yamata, which was involved in a traffic accident in Russia’s Amur region.

According to the agency’s press service, staff from the Consulate General of Uzbekistan in Vladivostok, together with representatives of Russia’s Migration Service, conducted a prompt investigation. The findings confirmed that there were no Uzbek nationals among the bus passengers.

Earlier, Russian media outlets had reported on a collision between a passenger bus owned by Yamata and a car, alleging that Uzbek citizens were among those on board.

In addition, this week another road accident involving Uzbek citizens occurred in Novosibirsk: one of the victims died, while the other remains in critical condition, with doctors fighting for his life.
