Russian President Vladimir Putin apologised to Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev for the tragic crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane this week. The crash, which killed at least 38 people and left 29 survivors, occurred near Aktau, Kazakhstan, after the plane tried to land at Grozny airport, which was under Ukrainian drone attacks. The Kremlin confirmed that Putin expressed condolences and explained that Russian air defences repelled the attacks. The crash has raised concerns, with some speculating that a Russian missile may have downed the plane. Several airlines have suspended flights to Russia in light of the incident.
