Azerbaijan Airlines flight J2-8243, an Embraer 190, crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, on December 25, 2024.
The plane, which had been diverted from Grozny due to poor weather conditions and Ukrainian drone attacks, attempted an emergency landing but crashed, killing 38 of the 67 passengers.
Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) has cited "technical external interference" as the likely cause of the accident, though initial reports suggest a possible bird strike or an oxygen cylinder explosion.
The incident is under investigation by Azerbaijani and Kazakh authorities.
Kazakhstan is stepping up support for small and medium-sized businesses. With more financing, reforms, and trade incentives, the goal is to grow its SME base and attract more European investment.

Donald Trump’s high-stakes announcement of the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense shield was dramatically overshadowed by pointed questions about Vladimir Putin and Ukraine. What began as a proud moment unveiling America’s most ambitious defense initiative quickly turned tense, as Trump was pressed on Ukrainian President Zelensky’s call for stricter sanctions on Russia. Snapping back, Trump asserted, “I determine that,” making it clear he alone would decide the course on Russia.
