An Azerbaijan Airlines commercial plane, flying from Azerbaijan to Russia, crashed on Wednesday with 67 and five crew members on board, according to Reuters.

According to local authorities, there are at least 25 survivors.

According to Russian news agencies, the plane had to be redirected because of fog in Grozny.

Kazakh authorities have already started an investigation, with the possibility of a technical problem being on the table.
