Two children were among those hospitalized, the ministry said in a post to its Telegram channel.


Kazakhstanā€™s deputy health minister told ABC News that some of those taken to hospital are in critical condition.


Kazakh authorities have initiated an investigation into the crash, focusing on reported bird strike, mechanical failure and the decision to reroute the flight due to adverse weather conditions, Kazakh aviation authorities told ABC News.


Among the passengers were 37 Azerbaijani citizens, six from Kazakhstan, three from Kyrgyzstan, and 16 from Russia, the Transport Ministry said in a statement, citing ā€œpreliminary data.ā€


Azerbaijan Airlines said in a post to X that the aircraft ā€œmade an emergency landingā€ around 2 miles from Aktau. The aircraft was an Embraer 190 model with flight number J2-8243, it said.
