Local officials said that 38 people were killed, while dozens of others survived, in the crash of a passenger plane carrying 67 people in Kazakhstan.

The plane was en route to Grozny, Russia, but was diverted due to fog, the airline told the BBC.

Moscow said on Thursday that it would not “put forward hypotheses” about the cause of the accident until the investigation is completed.

Flight No. J2-8243 of Azerbaijan Airlines caught fire while trying to make an emergency landing near the Kazakh city of Aktau.
