## Azerbaijan Airlines Flight Crash: A Russian Missile Allegation
Azerbaijani government sources reported to Euronews that a Russian surface-to-air missile struck Azerbaijan Airlines Flight J28243 on Christmas Day. The missile, allegedly fired near Grozny, Chechnya, damaged the plane’s rear fuselage and flight controls. Despite pilot requests, the damaged aircraft was reportedly denied landing at Russian airports and directed to Aktau, Kazakhstan, across the Caspian Sea. Flight tracking data from Flightradar24 showed the plane struggled to maintain altitude for over an hour before crashing. Analysis of the wreckage suggests shrapnel damage to critical flight control surfaces may have contributed to a difficult landing and subsequent crash. While there is no official confirmation of a missile strike, evidence from the wreckage and flight data have fueled speculation.
