A commercial Embraer E190 aircraft from Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL), carrying 67 people, crashed and caught fire near the city of Aktau, Kazakhstan, while en route from Baku to Grozny, Russia. The accident occurred after the plane was diverted due to dense fog and the potential risk of bird strikes. The flight had 62 passengers and 5 crew members on board, with 32 survivors. Kazakhstan's rescue teams quickly responded and extinguished the flames. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, including the possibility of a technical failure. The aircraft, manufactured by Brazil's Embraer, has a capacity of up to 114 passengers.
