During the talks with Michel, Tokayev also said that economic damage could total $2-3 billion, citing preliminary estimates.

On Sunday, the information ministry retracted a statement that said more than 164 people had died in the unrest, blaming the publication on a "technical mistake."

3 Kazakh officials (from domestic intelluigence agency and Interior Ministry) died today. One had a heart attack, another committed suicide, and a third was found dead with injuries that show he fell from a window.... This comes after Toqaev said unrest was coup attempt...
