Azerbaijan’s flag carrier has announced the suspension of flights to several Russian airports, citing potential flight safety risks following a crash of one of its planes that many experts have blamed on Russian air defense fire.

Kazakhstan's transport minister said Russian authorities told them that an oxygen cylinder had exploded in the passenger cabin of the aircraft.

An Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed on Christmas Day was “likely shot down by a Russian military air defence system,” a UK-based aviation security firm has said. The community is coming together to remember a man killed in a Waukesha County crash that happened on Tuesday, Dec. 24.
