The Kremlin emphasized the importance of not jumping to conclusions before the investigation concludes, stating that it would be wrong to hypothesize regarding the incident.
Preliminary investigation results indicated that a Russian Pantsir-S air defense system likely struck the flight, with sources explaining that electronic warfare systems paralyzed the plane's communications.
Azeri officials indicated that they expect the Russian side to admit to the shooting down of the aircraft, noting that it was not considered intentional.
Witnesses reported that debris from the explosion struck passengers and crew onboard, corroborating accounts by military experts of the discernible shrapnel damage on the aircraft’s fuselage.
