Kazakhstan Plane Crash News: An Azerbaijan Airlines plane crashed near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan, killing 38 people and injuring 29. The plane was diverted from Russia due to bad weather. Initial investigations suggest a bird hit, but some experts have questioned this after seeing the video on social media and the condition of the plane.
Missile attack rumors and Russia's response
After the accident, rumors started spreading on social media that the plane had fallen due to a missile attack. It is being claimed that this could have been caused by Russia's anti-aircraft system, as there were recent Ukrainian drone attacks in Makhachkala and Grozny. However, Russia has rejected these claims and appealed for restraint. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that it would be wrong to draw any conclusion before the official investigation is completed.
Statement by passengers and airlines
There were 62 passengers and 5 crew members on board the crashed plane. Azerbaijan Airlines said that the technical condition of the plane was completely fine and it was inspected in October. The airline has temporarily stopped all its flights to Grozny and Makhachkala. Experts say that this decision points to serious concerns about the safety of the airspace of the region.
Rumors and status of investigation
The investigation is ongoing, but rumors of missile attacks and other conspiracies are growing on social media. Some reports suggest that the plane may have been hit by recent Ukrainian drone attacks. However, Kazakhstan's emergency services have not yet confirmed any possibilities. Experts and the government believe that it is necessary to wait for the results of the investigation before drawing any conclusions.
