A passenger plane crashed near the city of Aktau.
A passenger plane flying from Azerbaijan to Russia crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau and initial reports suggested there were survivors, the Central Asian country's Emergencies Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said in a statement that fire services had extinguished the fire and that survivors were being treated at a nearby hospital.
Azerbaijan Airlines said the Embraer 190, flight number J2-8243, was flying from Baku to Grozny, the capital of Russia's Chechnya, but was forced to make an emergency landing about 3 km (1.8 miles) from the Kazakh city of Aktau.
Russian news agencies reported that the plane was diverted due to fog in Grozny.
More to come.
