00:00The investigation into the Azerbaijan Airlines flight that crashed in Kazakhstan on Wednesday
00:07will now focus on what weapon caused the incident, the country's transport minister said on Friday.
00:15The plane was brought down after what looks like an attack from Russian air defence systems.
00:2138 people were killed, while 29 survivors are being treated for their injuries.
00:29Images of parts of the plane that remained intact show puncture holes consistent with
00:33the shore of fragments produced by a missile strike.
00:40During our visit to survivors, including those with Russian citizenship, all of them, without
00:45exception, stated that they heard three blast sounds when the aircraft was above Grozny
00:49city.
00:53Our investigation team, along with aviation specialists invited for this case, will now
00:57examine what kind of weapon, or rather what kind of rocket, was used.
01:04On Friday, Azerbaijan Airlines further suspended flights to Russia.
01:09Kazakhstan's Kazakh Air and Israel's El Al National Airline have also cancelled certain
01:15routes to the region.
