25.12.2024 ⇢ The Day Aktau Plane Fell From Sky
⌨
A commercial Embraer aircraft crashed in Aktau, Kazakhstan, while flying from Baku to Grozny, initially reported with 32 survivors. Throughout the day, casualty numbers shifted, finally settling at 38 dead and 29 survivors, including 9 Russians. Technical malfunction theories evolved into speculation about possible military involvement after inspection revealed systematic damage patterns on the fuselage.
Russian media simultaneously reported on a massive missile strike against Ukrainian infrastructure, with claims of 59 Ukrainian drones intercepted overnight. The Vladikavkaz shopping mall explosion was attributed to drone debris, while "Oboronlogistika" confirmed the Ursa Major vessel sinking as a terrorist act.
Evening coverage shifted to economic matters as the Central Bank announced plans to lift consumer credit restrictions and enhance monitoring of migrant accounts, while Rosstat acknowledged record inflation figures.
