Kassym-Jomart Tokayev declared December 28 as a national day of mourning in Kazakhstan, Presidential Spokesman Berik Uali wrote on his Facebook page.
“President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev declared December 28, 2019, a national day of mourning in connection with the deadly passenger plane crash near Almaty,” the statement said.
It should be reminded that today a plane carrying 100 people, 95 passengers and 5 crew members, crashed near Almaty airport, killing at least 15 and leaving around 60 injured.
According to Almaty aviation authorities, the plane “lost altitude after takeoff and broke through a concrete fence,” before colliding with a two-story building at approximately 7:22 a.m., local time.
Flight Z2100, a Fokker 100 aircraft operated by Kazakhstan-based carrier Bek Air, was scheduled to fly from Almaty to Nur-Sultan.
