Russian President Vladimir Putin has officially apologized to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev for the tragic crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane, which killed 38 people. The incident, which occurred near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day, has raised questions about the potential involvement of Russian air defense systems. Putin suggested that the crash was linked to Ukrainian drone attacks on Grozny airport, but reports indicate the possibility that Russian missiles mistakenly downed the civilian airliner. The investigation is ongoing, and speculation continues about the cause of this tragic incident.

Azerbaijan Airlines flight J2-8243, an Embraer 190, crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, on December 25, 2024. The plane, which had been diverted from Grozny due to poor weather conditions and Ukrainian drone attacks, attempted an emergency landing but crashed, killing 38 of the 67 passengers. Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) has cited "technical external interference" as the likely cause of the accident, though initial reports suggest a possible bird strike or an oxygen cylinder explosion. The incident is under investigation by Azerbaijani and Kazakh authorities.

Russia’s defense systems have successfully intercepted and destroyed eight US-made ATACMS missiles launched by Ukraine targeting the Belgorod region. In a statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that the S-400 and Pantsir-SM systems repelled the attack, leaving Ukraine's offensive efforts thwarted. Moscow warned of imminent retaliatory measures, escalating tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO. These high-precision strikes mark a new phase in the ongoing conflict, with Russia stressing the role of Western specialists in enabling Ukraine’s use of advanced weaponry, intensifying the geopolitical standoff. The incident highlights the growing risks of regional and global instability as both sides deploy increasingly advanced and lethal technologies in the war.
