Kazakh police use stun grenades as protesters try to storm Almaty mayor's office

Kazakh police used stun grenades as hundreds of protesters tried to storm the mayor's office in the country's biggest city, Almaty, a Reuters correspondent reported from the scene.

Another Reuters correspondent heard a series of explosions in the vicinity of the city's main square where the mayor's office is located. Protests erupted in the oil-rich nation after its government lifted price caps on liquefied petroleum gas, a popular car fuel.
