A plane en route from Almaty to Grozny crashed in Kazakhstan, killing at least 38 passengers. The aircraft made an emergency landing near Aktau before catching fire. Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stated that the cause of the crash is unknown and under thorough investigation. While Russian media speculate about bird strike, experts point to potential shrapnel patterns suggesting a missile detonation.
