Russia’s Putin Sends Condolences After Deadly Plane Crash in Kazakhstan, 16 Russians Among the Dead

Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed his condolences following the deadly crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 near Aktau, Kazakhstan. The crash, which occurred during an emergency landing attempt, resulted in at least 42 fatalities, with 16 Russian nationals confirmed among the dead. Putin personally conveyed his sympathies to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, extending his support to the victims and their families.
