Azerbaijan probe finds Russian missile caused downing of Flight 8432: WSJ, Reuters, Anadolu Agency sources


Azerbaijan officials cited in multiple reports say Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8432 was downed by Russia’s air defences.

Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8432 crashed near the city of Aktau on Wednesday while en route to Grozny, the capital of the Chechnya region in southern Russia, killing 38 people and injuring 29 others. Azerbaijan Airlines suspended a host of flights to Russian cities on Friday and said preliminary findings showed the crash was caused by what it termed “physical and technical external interference”. Azerbaijan on Thursday held a day of mourning for the victims of the crash, with residents of the former Soviet country observing a moment of silence as national flags were lowered and traffic came to a halt nationwide.
