In October last year, a light multi-purpose An-3 AK Borus aircraft crashed in Yakutia. There were five people on board — three crew members and two passengers. One of the passengers was killed.
Meanwhile, in December 2024, Russian air defense shot down an Azerbaijan Airlines passenger plane. It was prohibited from landing on Russian territory, forcing the pilots to head toward Kazakhstan.
The plane crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau. Traces of damage caused by Russian air defense systems were found on the wreckage.
