AnewZ has obtained exclusive photos of the Azerbaijan Airlines plane that tragically crashed near Aktau in December 2024. The images, including interior shots of the aircraft fuselage, clearly depict signs of damage consistent with external interference. In particular, shrapnel impact marks are clearly visible, casting serious doubts on initial theories such as a bird strike or gas tank explosion.
According to Azerbaijani government sources, preliminary investigations suggest that the aircraft was struck by a missile fired from a Russian Pantsir-S air defense system while approaching Grozny. Earlier, Digital Development and Transport Minister Rashad Nabiyev confirmed that a rocket attack had occurred, though the type of missile remains under investigation. On his part Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated that the aircraft was unintentionally shot down by Russian air defenses over Russian territory. President Aliyev demanded a full admission of guilt, punishment for those responsible, and compensation for the victims and their families.
The investigation continues as authorities seek definitive answers.
