Preliminary investigation results into the Christmas Day plane crash indicated external technical interference. Azerbaijan Airlines suspended flights to five Russian airports due to safety risks.
Dmitry Yadrov from Russia's civil aviation agency reported that the aircraft attempted to land in Grozny, which was under attack from Ukrainian drones, complicating the conditions.
A US official noted potential evidence that a Russian anti-aircraft system may have targeted the plane, echoing claims from both Ukrainian officials and Azerbaijan sources.
Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesperson, refused to comment on the claims, stating that an evaluation of the situation would wait for the investigation's conclusions.
