On Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his apologies to his Azerbaijani counterpart for what he referred to as a "tragic incident." This came after an Azerbaijani airliner crashed in Kazakhstan, resulting in the loss of 38 lives. The unfortunate event occurred on Wednesday, when the plane was en route from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, to Grozny, the regional capital of Chechnya in Russia. As the aircraft attempted to land, it suddenly changed course towards Kazakhstan and ultimately crashed. Fortunately, there were 29 survivors.
In an official statement released on Saturday, the Kremlin stated that the air defence systems near Grozny were activated on Wednesday due to a Ukrainian drone strike. However, they did not explicitly state that this was the cause of the crash. On Friday, both a US official and an Azerbaijani minister separately announced that the crash was the result of an external weapon.
Meanwhile, the world mourned the loss of another life as Olivia Hussey Eisley, the renowned star of the beloved 1968 film Romeo and Juliet, passed away at the age of 73. The news of her passing spread quickly, with many paying tribute to her talent and contributions to the entertainment industry.
