Preliminary reports indicated that the flight encountered technical difficulties shortly after entering Kazakh airspace over the Caspian Sea. However, surviving passengers and fragments of the aircraft suggested external damage to the rear fuselage, raising suspicions of an external attack.

The pilots reportedly attempted an emergency landing at Aktau International Airport but failed to stabilize the aircraft, resulting in a crash just before reaching the runway. Despite the catastrophic nature of the crash, 53 passengers survived, though many sustained injuries.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-12-26 |title=Azerbaijan mourns 38 killed in plane crash as investigation gets underway |url=https://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20241226-azerbaijan-mourns-38-killed-in-plane-crash-as-investigation-gets-underway |url-status=live |archive-url=http://archive.today/2024.12.27-041058/https://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20241226-azerbaijan-mourns-38-killed-in-plane-crash-as-investigation-gets-underway |archive-date=2024-12-27 |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=France 24 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Kazakhstan: Dozens dead in Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash – DW – 12/25/2024 |url=https://www.dw.com/en/kazakhstan-dozens-dead-in-azerbaijan-airlines-plane-crash/a-71156679 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://archive.today/2024.12.27-040759/https://www.dw.com/en/kazakhstan-dozens-dead-in-azerbaijan-airlines-plane-crash/a-71156679 |archive-date=2024-12-27 |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=dw.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-12-26 |title=What is known about a plane crash in Kazakhstan as experts suspect Russian air defense fire |url=https://apnews.com/article/things-to-know-about-azerbaijan-airlines-crash-1e3ca32f895b577755b5776806e1eda7 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://archive.today/2024.12.27-040834/https://apnews.com/article/things-to-know-about-azerbaijan-airlines-crash-1e3ca32f895b577755b5776806e1eda7 |archive-date=2024-12-27 |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=AP News |language=en}}</ref>

== Conflicting reports ==

Independent investigations and statements from survivors contradicted the official narrative. Multiple sources alleged that the aircraft was struck by a missile fired by Russian air defense systems over the Caspian Sea. Some reports suggested that the crew was instructed to divert to Aktau instead of landing in Makhachkala, Russia, to obscure evidence. The rear fuselage, found with significant perforations resembling shrapnel damage, became a focal point for speculation, with experts suggesting it aligned with characteristics of a missile strike.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Liebermann |first=Catherine Nicholls, Hassan Tayir, Oren |date=2024-12-26 |title=Early indications suggest Russian anti-aircraft system may have downed Azerbaijani jet, US official says.

== International reactions ==

Azerbaijan expressed deep concern over the incident, urging Kazakhstan to cooperate with international investigators. Russia dismissed allegations of missile involvement, calling them "politically motivated."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Сегодня в Азербайджане день траура |url=https://cbctv.az/news/115797/segodnya-v-azerbaidzane-den-traura |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=cbctv.az |language=en}}</ref> The United States and European Union called for an independent investigation, with some officials suggesting the incident could have broader geopolitical implications.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Azerbaijan probe finds Russian missile caused deadly crash, reports say |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/12/27/azerbaijan-probe-finds-russian-missile-caused-deadly-crash-reports-say |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=Al Jazeera |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Liebermann |first=Catherine Nicholls, Hassan Tayir, Oren |date=2024-12-26 |title=Black boxes of downed Azerbaijani jet recovered as questions mount over Russian involvement.
