Azerbaijan Airlines flight J2-8243 crashed near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan after taking off from southern Russia. At least 38 people were killed in this incident while 29 survived. This flight J2-8243 was diverted from southern Russia, because at that time there were attacks by Ukrainian drones on Russian territories. The plane made several attempts to land at Grozny airport, but failed. During the Ukrainian drone attacks, efforts were being made by Russia’s air defense systems to neutralize these attacks.
