Following the incident, speculation arose about potential involvement from Russian air defense systems, with claims from Azerbaijani media suggesting a missile attack could have been the cause. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasized the necessity of waiting for the official investigation results before making any assumptions. Despite the calls for restraint, Azerbaijani commentary has suggested a growing expectation for Russia to acknowledge possible responsibility.
The Embraer 190 aircraft had to alter its course due to fog while departing from Baku, and it reportedly faced difficulties during its attempted landing at Grozny. Eyewitness accounts suggest a catastrophic event occurred during its final approach to Aktau.
As the investigation continues, including the recovery of the flight data recorder, experts point to indicators that may link the crash to military activity. In the wake of this tragedy, Azerbaijan observed a national day of mourning, reflecting the profound impact on the nation as families grieve lost loved ones.
The investigation, involving officials from Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, awaits further developments while both countries navigate the delicate geopolitical implications that the crash may expose.
