The Azerbaijan plane crash may have been the result of gunfire, according to the transport minister

Azerbaijan’s Digital Development and Transport Minister Rashan Nabiyev said on Friday that the Azerbaijani airliner that crashed earlier this week may have been hit by a weapon as outside aviation experts blamed the accident on Russian air defense systems. The plane was flying from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, to Grozny, the regional capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya, on Wednesday when it turned toward Kazakhstan and crashed while trying to land. The accident killed 38 people and injured the 29 survivors.
