Azerbaijan observes a nationwide day of mourning for the victims of the plane crash.

The Embraer 190 was en route from Baku to Grozny in the North Caucasus on Wednesday .

The plane crashed while trying to land in Aktau , Kazakhstan , after a bird strike led to an emergency on board.

Some commentators say holes in the plane's tail section possibly indicate it could have come under fire from Russian air defense systems fending off a Ukrainian drone attack.
