Azerbaijani government sources have exclusively confirmed to Euronews on Thursday that a Russian surface-to-air missile caused the Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash in Aktau on Wednesday.
According to the sources, the missile was fired at Flight 8432 during drone air activity above Grozny, and the shrapnel hit the passengers and cabin crew as it exploded next to the aircraft mid-flight.
Government sources have told Euronews that the damaged aircraft was not allowed to land at any Russian airports despite the pilots’ requests for an emergency landing, and it was ordered to fly across the Caspian Sea towards Aktau in Kazakhstan.
According to data, the plane’s GPS navigation systems were jammed throughout the flight path above the sea.
The missile was fired from a Pantsir-S air defence system, Baku-based international outlet AnewZ reported, citing Azerbaijani government sources.
阿塞拜疆政府消息人士周四向欧洲新闻独家证实，一枚俄罗斯地对空导弹导致周三阿塞拜疆航空公司的飞机在阿克套坠毁。
据消息人士透露，导弹是在格罗兹尼上空的无人机飞行期间向 8432 航班发射的，导弹在飞行过程中在飞机旁边爆炸，弹片击中了乘客和机组人员。
政府消息人士告诉欧洲新闻，尽管飞行员要求紧急降落，但受损的飞机仍未获准在俄罗斯任何机场降落，而是被命令飞越里海飞往哈萨克斯坦的阿克套。
据数据显示，飞机的GPS导航系统在海面飞行过程中全程受到干扰。
巴库国际媒体 AnewZ 援引阿塞拜疆政府消息人士的话报道称，这枚导弹是从 Pantsir-S 防空系统发射的。
