More and more evidence points to the fact that the #Azerbaijan Airlines passenger plane that crashed in #Kazakhstan yesterday was hit by #Russian air defence systems.
The plane, travelling from #Baku, #Azerbaijan, to the capital of #Russian_Chechnya, #Grozny, crash-landed near #Aktau in #Kazakhstan. At least 38 people were killed.
Despite the initial reports that the plane hit a flock of birds as it was approaching #Grozny, even #Russian Telegram channels are doubtful that this was the case.
Azerbaijani government sources have exclusively confirmed to Euronews on Thursday that a Russian surface-to-air missile caused the #Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash in #Aktau on Wednesday.
According to the sources, the missile was fired at Flight 8432 during drone air activity above #Grozny, and the shrapnel hit the passengers and cabin crew as it exploded next to the aircraft mid-flight.
Government sources have told Euronews that the damaged aircraft was not allowed to land at any #Russian airports despite the pilots’ requests for an emergency landing, and it was ordered to fly across the #Caspian Sea towards Aktau in #Kazakhstan.
According to data, the plane’s #GPS navigation systems were jammed throughout the flight path above the sea.
