A passenger plane from Azerbaijan Airlines burst into flames after crashing near the Aktau city of Kazakhstan, the country’s Emergencies Ministry said.

The Embraer 190 plane was en route from Azerbaijan’s capital Baku to Grzony in Russia’s Chechnya but was rerouted due to fog in Grozny. Sixty-two passengers were onboard the plane along with five crew members, and reports suggest a few people have survived the crash.

A video showed the aircraft rapidly losing altitude and started banking to its right. It crashed into an open field and burst into flames.
