The United States believes the passenger plane was shot down in Kazakhstan by a Russian missile. A US official told CNN that this position is based on preliminary data received. This comes as the authorities have found the second black box, which may shed light on the causes of the tragedy that claimed the lives of 38 people.
"The evidence points to a Russian anti-aircraft system hitting the Azerbaijani airliner before it crashed," the US official said. He adds that based on confirmed information, it appears that the Russians have mistakenly identified him as a threat.
However, officials from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Russia have urged the public and the media not to speculate about the tragedy until investigations are completed. The Kremlin has even used warning and threatening language, especially to the West. (A2 Televizion)
