Tragedy struck near Aktau, Kazakhstan, as an Azerbaijani airliner carrying 67 passengers and crew members crashed on Wednesday. According to Kazakh authorities, the devastating crash resulted in the loss of at least 38 lives.
In a significant development, both flight recorders from the aircraft have been successfully located at the crash site. The recovery of these crucial devices marks a pivotal step in unraveling the events that led to the disaster.
