27.12.2024 ⇢ The Day AZAL Named The Weapon
⌨The morning began with Norwegian vessel's refusal to rescue Russian Ursa Major crew, sparking diplomatic tensions until Spanish ship's successful rescue. Thirteen Ukrainian drones were intercepted over five Russian regions, leading to temporary airport closures in Sochi, Kazan, and Grozny.
By afternoon, Azerbaijan Airlines suspended flights to multiple Russian cities following their Embraer crash investigation. AZAL and Azerbaijan's Transport Ministry officially declared "external technical impact" as the crash cause, contradicting earlier Russian claims about birds. U.S. intelligence sources later indicated Russian air defense involvement.
Evening brought Slovakia's threat to cut electricity supplies to Ukraine over gas transit disputes, while Russia announced January UN Security Council meeting on alleged Ukrainian war crimes. Russian crew from Ursa Major finally departed Spain, as NATO planned increased Baltic Sea presence following recent cable incidents.
