The plane belonging to “Azerbaijani Airlines” was destroyed by a Russian anti-aircraft strike, Reuters reports, referring to four sources close to the Azerbaijani investigation. A number of other media also claim the same, including Euronews and Turkish “Anadolu”.

The plane traveling from Baku to Grozny had an accident yesterday in the territory of Kazakhstan, 38 people were killed and 29 were injured. Before the accident, the plane had passed through the part of the Russian airspace, where the Russian air defense has been working against the attack of the Ukrainian drones for the last few months.

Neither Moscow nor Baku officially confirmed this hypothesis. The spokesman of the Kremlin urged to wait for the results of the examination. The president of Azerbaijan also refused to comment.

“I was only told that the plane changed direction due to bad weather conditions,” Ilham Aliyev said at today’s press conference.
