Azerbaijan's transport minister reported that an Azerbaijan Airlines plane crashed in Chechnya due to 'external interference,' with survivors hearing blasts before the crash. The plane was allegedly fired upon by Russian air defense systems, leading to its diversion and eventual crash in Kazakhstan, resulting in 38 fatalities. Investigations are ongoing, with Azerbaijan seeking accountability from Russia, while the Kremlin remains silent. Azerbaijan Airlines has suspended flights to several Russian cities for security reasons. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
