The crash of an Azerbaijani airliner in Kazakhstan has killed 38 of 67 people on board. Azerbaijan Airlines’ Embraer 190 was en route from Azerbaijani capital Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus when it was diverted for reasons that aren’t fully clear yet. It crashed on Wednesday while making an attempt to land in Aktau in Kazakhstan after flying east across the Caspian Sea. Officials in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Russia haven't commented on a possible cause of the crash pending an official investigation. However, experts point out holes in the plane's tail section pictured after the crash as a sign that it could have been fired upon by Russian air defense systems.
