The crash of the passenger plane carrying 67 people, which resulted in 38 fatalities, has ignited investigations in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Russia regarding its causes. Azerbaijan's investigators suggest that a Russian air defense system damaged the plane, amidst ongoing tensions related to drone battles in the region.
Russian authorities initially cited fog and bird strikes as reasons for diverting the flight, but later revised their story, indicating the need to clear airspace due to Ukrainian drones. Their shifting explanations created public backlash in Azerbaijan, where lawmakers are calling for an apology and thorough investigation from Russia.
