Summary

An Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, killing 38 of 67 onboard, with 29 survivors.

The plane was diverted due to fog en route to Grozny, Chechnya, before crashing 1.9 miles from the runway.

Speculation suggests a Russian air defense missile may have caused the crash amid heightened regional tensions.

Aviation analysts cite shrapnel patterns as evidence of a missile strike.
