Ignoring the demands to maintain public order, the troublemakers continued their acts of vandalism on July 2 as well. In the course of these actions, infrastructure facilities in Nukus were significantly damaged. Windows of buildings were broken, fires started. Several groups tried to seize the buildings of the Nukus City Police Department and the National Guard Department to seize weapons.
