Azerbaijan Airlines attributed the fatal crash of Flight J2-8243 in Kazakhstan to "external physical and technical interference" on Friday. The crash, which occurred Wednesday in Aktau, Kazakhstan, claimed 38 lives, including two pilots and a flight attendant, while 29 passengers survived. Reports suggest the jet may have been struck by a Russian missile, though the Kremlin denies the allegations. Fog and Ukrainian drones reportedly disrupted the plane’s original route to Grozny, Russia. Survivors have been hospitalized, while severely burned bodies are undergoing identification. Investigations are ongoing, with conflicting claims from Russian and Ukrainian authorities about the incident.
