Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday apologized to Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev for a tragic incident that occurred in Russian airspace. Let us tell you that on Christmas day, an Azerbaijan Airlines plane crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, in which 38 people died.

The Kremlin said in a statement that President Vladimir Putin apologized for the tragic incident in Russian airspace and expressed his deep condolences to the families of the victims. He also wished for the speedy recovery of the injured.

The statement also said that the plane repeatedly tried to land at Grozny airport while Ukrainian drone attacks were taking place on Grozny, Mozdok and Vladikavkaz. Russian air defense systems foiled these attacks.

Baku’s presidential office issued a statement saying the Azerbaijan Airlines passenger plane encountered technical interference in Russian airspace. Due to this, control of the aircraft was completely lost.

The statement said there were multiple holes in the aircraft’s fuselage, injuries to passengers and crew caused by foreign particles entering the cabin during flight, and testimony from surviving flight attendants and passengers corroborating evidence of technological intervention. .

The Kremlin issued a statement saying, ‘Putin told the leader of Azerbaijan that Russian air defense was active at the time of the plane’s landing.’

The statement came amid speculation that Russian air defenses may have accidentally shot down the plane, which crashed in western Kazakhstan earlier this week, killing 38 people.

Azerbaijan’s leader Ilham Aliyev told Vladimir Putin that the Azerbaijan Airlines plane was the first to crash due to technical interference over Russia.
