  • Azerbaijan's president says crashed jetliner was shot down by Russia, albeit not intentionally - Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev says the Azerbaijani airliner that crashed last week was shot down by Russia,

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has claimed that a Russian jetliner, which crashed in January 2024, was unintentionally shot down by Russian forces. The incident involved an Embraer Legacy 600 jet that was carrying Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, and other senior members. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Moscow, killing all ten people on board. Aliyev suggested that the downing was a mistake, possibly due to the ongoing tensions between the Wagner group and the Russian military leadership. This claim adds to the speculation and controversy surrounding the crash, as initial reports from Russian authorities had not confirmed any external cause for the incident.
