Military and emergency helicopters circle over Aktau's waterfront plaza

Aktau, Kazakhstan

The video shows a street scene with a tree and vehicles. In the foreground, the rear of a dark SUV with a Kazakhstan license plate is visible. A man wearing a cap and a light-colored shirt with dark stripes stands near the SUV, with his arm extended towards it. In the background, a helicopter is seen in the sky, and a police car with flashing lights is parked on the right. Another vehicle, possibly a van, is partially visible on the left. The scene appears to be outdoors, possibly near a body of water, with a cloudy sky.

Two helicopters are in the sky. One is larger and appears to be a military transport helicopter, possibly a Mi-17, flying near a palm tree and a lamppost. The second helicopter is smaller, a light attack or observation helicopter, flying further in the distance. They are over a paved area with patterned tiles, a low white railing, and the ocean beyond. There is a monument or decorative structure to the left of the frame. The sky is overcast.
