Russian missile probably caused Azerbaijani plane crash, say experts
Dubai | Aviation experts said on Thursday that Russian air defence fire was probably responsible for the Azerbaijani plane crash the day before that killed 38 people and left all 29 survivors injured.
Azerbaijan Airlines’ Embraer 190 was en route from Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus on Christmas Day when it was diverted for reasons still unclear and crashed while trying to land in Aktau in Kazakhstan after flying east across the Caspian Sea.
