A senior Azerbaijani government official told Reuters that the external impact referred to in the report was from a Russian surface-to-air missile. The news agency had not received comment from Russian officials on this.

“The Azerbaijani side possesses a fragment of a Pantsir-S missile, which was extracted from the aircraft and identified through international expertise,” the source said.

Four sources with knowledge of Azerbaijan’s preliminary investigations previously told Reuters in December that the investigations found Russian air defences were responsible for the ******.

One of the Azerbaijani sources told the news agency that preliminary results indicated that the plane had been struck by a Russian Pantsir-S air defence system.

“No one claims that it was done on purpose. However, taking into account the established facts, Baku expects the Russian side to confess to the shooting down of the Azerbaijani aircraft,” the source said.

Russia has started its own investigation into the ****** and said that actions are being taken to try to understand the circumstances around the incident.
