Kazakh media reported they were migrant workers traveling to Russia.
Uzbekistan’s emergency services ministry said it had opened a hotline.

The Kazakh investments and development ministry said the vehicle was a 29-year-old German-built Setra bus.
The accident is one of the deadliest in the last five years, with the worst toll in Afghanistan in 2016 when two buses collided with an oil tanker, killing at least 73 people.
The tragedy, which struck in the area around the city of Aktobe Jimmy Garoppolo Womens Jersey , highlights the high accident rate for passenger transport in the region.
In October last year, a Kazakh-registered bus with Uzbek passengers was hit by a train in Russia after breaking down on the tracks, killing 19 aboard the bus.
