MOSCOW: Russia's Vladimir Putin on Saturday apologized to Azerbaijan's Leader Ilham Aliyev for a "lamentable episode" which occurred in Russian airspace including an Azerbaijan Carriers traveler plane that crashed on Wednesday.
Putin called Aliyev as hypothesis developed that Russian air guard might have unintentionally destroyed the plane, which crashed in western Kazakhstan, killing 38 individuals while 28 made due.
Flight J2-8243 crashed in a chunk of fire close to the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan subsequent to redirecting from southern Russia where Ukrainian robots were accounted for to be going after a few urban communities.

"It was noted in the discussion that the Azerbaijani traveler airplane, which was venturing out as per its timetable, over and again attempted to land at Grozny air terminal. Around then, Grozny, Mozdok and Vladikavkaz were being gone after by Ukrainian automated elevated vehicles, and Russian air protection frameworks repulsed these assaults," the Kremlin said.
The Kremlin said the call occurred at Putin's solicitation.
Azerbaijan's leader had noticed that the plane had been "exposed to outside physical and specialized obstruction in Russian airspace, bringing about a total loss of control and redirection to the Kazakh city of Aktau," as per Azerbaijan's official office.
The Embraer EMBR3.SA traveler fly had flown from Azerbaijan's capital Baku to Grozny, in Russia's southern Chechnya locale, prior to wandering away from many miles across the Caspian Ocean.
