An Embraer EMBR3.SA passenger plane flying from Azerbaijan to Russia crashed near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan with 62 passengers and five crew on board, Kazakh authorities announce, saying that 27 people had survived.
Unverified video of the crash showed the plane, which was operated by Azerbaijan Airlines, bursting into flames as it hit the ground and thick black smoke then rising. Bloodied and bruised passengers can be seen stumbling from a piece of the fuselage that had remained intact.
The Central Asian country’s emergencies ministry says in a statement that fire services had put out the blaze and that the survivors, including three children, are being treated at a nearby hospital.
