A catastrophic plane crash unfolded near Aktau, Kazakhstan, involving an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 aircraft.
The jet, carrying over 100 passengers and crew, was en route from Baku to Grozny when it made an emergency landing request after reportedly colliding with a flock of birds.
Tragically, the plane crashed roughly three kilometers from Aktau, bursting into flames upon impact.
The Embraer 190, a versatile single-aisle jet designed for short and long-haul routes, can seat up to 114 passengers and is known for its efficient performance and spacious cabin.
With a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.82 and a range of 2,450 nautical miles, it is widely regarded as a reliable workhorse in regional aviation.
Foreign investment in Central Asia is surging as European companies seek alternatives to Russia. Kazakhstan leads the region, attracting billions, but where is the money coming from—and how is it shaping the economy?

Ukraine’s intelligence agency has confirmed a major shift in Russian weapon manufacturing: the discovery of an Indian-made component in Iranian-designed Shahed drones used by Moscow. As Western sanctions tighten, Russia is now relying on Chinese, Iranian, and non-Western tech to sustain its military-industrial machine. The majority of electronics found in these drones are no longer American-made. Experts warn that clandestine supply chains — through countries like India, Türkiye, and Kazakhstan — are helping Russia replenish banned components and continue its war efforts with little global accountability.
