Chechen authorities are saying that they were thwarting a drone attack, but nobody announced that a drone attack was occurring, so that excuse seems really shoddy.
Some other sources are saying that the plane had to divert its flight path due to weather conditions and people on the ground with itchy trigger fingers saw a plane where they didn't expect to and shot at it.
Either way, none of it matters. More innocent people died because of Putin's war. It sounds like it's going to hurt Russia-Azerbaijan relations.
