32 survive as passenger plane flying from Azerbaijan to Russia crashes in Kazakhstan
A passenger plane, an Embraer EMBR3.SA, traveling from Azerbaijan to Russia, crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, on Wednesday. Kazakh authorities reported that the aircraft had 62 passengers and five crew members on board, with 32 people surviving the incident.
An unverified video of the crash showed the plane, operated by Azerbaijan Airlines, erupting into flames upon impact with the seashore, followed by thick black smoke billowing into the sky. Bloodied and bruised passengers were seen stumbling away from a section of the fuselage that had remained intact.
Kazakhstan’s emergencies ministry stated that fire services had extinguished the blaze and that survivors, including two children, were receiving treatment at a nearby hospital. Recovery efforts for the deceased were ongoing.
