In Kazakhstan, an Azerbaijan Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing in Aktau due to technical issues, though fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Meanwhile, in the United States, a Robinson R44 helicopter crashed during lift-off in Texas, injuring the pilot, and a Bell 407 helicopter made an emergency landing in a New Jersey parking lot, with all six onboard escaping unharmed.
