A passenger plane of Azerbaijan Airlines, traveling on the route Baku - Grozny, crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau earlier in the day. The crew tried to make an emergency landing at the city's airport, but the plane went down and caught fire. Preliminarily, the cause of the plane's fall could have been a collision with a flock of birds.

The Ministry of Transport of Kazakhstan reported that 16 Russians were flying in the plane. According to the Russian Embassy in the republic, 10 of them survived and were hospitalized.
