On December 28th, the Russian Aviation Administration reported new details about the crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane on December 27th local time. The Russian Aviation Administration said that after the air crash, the Russian side immediately notified the relevant departments of Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, informing them that “Russia is fully prepared and fully cooperating in the investigation of the plane crash”. The Russian Aviation Administration said that due to Ukrainian drone attacks on civilian infrastructure in the cities of Grozny and Vladikavkaz, Russia has taken restrictive measures at Grozny Airport, requiring all aircraft to immediately leave specific areas. In addition, the airport area is shrouded in thick fog, with zero visibility at an altitude of 500 meters. The captain of the crashed plane attempted to land at Grozny Airport twice but was unsuccessful, and subsequently decided to proceed to Aktau Airport in Kazakhstan. (CCTV News)
