Brazilian authorities have begun the analysis of black boxes from the Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer E190 crash. The aircraft, operating flight J28243 from Baku to Grozny, crash-landed near Aktau in Kazakhstan, resulting in 38 fatalities. The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) is conducting the analysis through the Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (CENIPA). According to a statement seen by Band, "The extraction, acquisition, and validation of the data contained in the flight recorders will occur as soon as possible. All analyses and conclusions that will be published in the Final Report of this aeronautical investigation are the exclusive responsibility of the Kazakhstan Investigation Authority."

There is no specified timeline for when investigators will release their findings.

Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev has urged Russia to take responsibility for the crash and compensate both Azerbaijan and those affected. Initial reports suggest that Russian air defense systems may have struck the aircraft while it was attempting to land in Grozny before diverting to Kazakhstan. In an interview with Azerbaijani Television on December 29, 2024, Aliyev stated, "We have clearly expressed our demands to the Russian side… compensation must be paid to the Azerbaijani state, to the injured passengers and crew members."

Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized on December 28, 2024, calling it a "tragic incident," but did not admit Moscow's responsibility. This apology came amid allegations that Russian defenses downed the plane during an attempt to counter a Ukrainian drone attack near Grozny.

Aliyev also refuted theories suggesting a collision with birds or an onboard gas cylinder explosion as causes for the crash. He accused Russia of spreading these theories as part of a cover-up effort.
