A passenger plane from Azerbaijan Airlines burst into flames after crashing near the Aktau city of Kazakhstan, the country’s Emergencies Ministry said.
The Embraer 190 plane was en route from Azerbaijan’s capital Baku to Grzony in Russia’s Chechnya but was rerouted due to fog in Grozny. Sixty-two passengers were onboard the plane along with five crew
members.
“According to preliminary information, there are 32 survivors of whom 22 have been hospitalised,” the ministry said on Telegram.
A video showed the aircraft rapidly losing altitude and started banking to its right. It crashed into an open field and burst into flames.
