Deputy Head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Almaz Asanov shared details of the search operations that began after the teenager called 112. According to him, on November 7 at 19:02, the minor reported his location in the Elektro Peak area, but his phone battery was at only 2–3%.
Chronology of the Search Operation
When rescuers received the information, they were busy rescuing a girl in Ala-Archa. The team split up: three specialists set off to search for Amir, while two remained to work with the other victim. The route from the Ratsek Hut to the teenager's suspected location is approximately 15–18 km, which would take the group at least 4–5 hours.
The search was conducted around the clock. After the teenager's mobile phone turned off, rescuers began patrolling the adjacent areas. New forces were gradually brought into the operation.
