Brazil’s air force says several of its investigators are working with colleagues from three other nations to analyze data from the Azerbaijani airliner that crashed in Kazakhstan on Dec. 25, killing 38 people.

Brazilian investigators have reportedly begun analyzing black boxes of the Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer E190 involved in the crash. The news comes almost two weeks after the regional aircraft operating flight J28243 from Baku to Grozny crash-landed near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan, killing 38 people.

Brazil's air force said Monday it had extracted the data from two black box recorders belonging to a crashed Azerbaijan Airlines plane that Baku claims was downed by Russia on Christmas Day.

Azerbaijan’s leader on Monday accused Moscow of carrying out a “cover up” over a passenger jet crash last month that claimed 38 lives, as relations sour between the two neighbors.

The extraction of flight data from the Brazilian-made Azerbaijan Airlines in Kazakhstan last month was completed at a lab run by Brazil's air force, according to a statement released by the entity on Monday.

The black box from the Azerbaijan Airlines crash in Kazakhstan, believed to have been caused by Russian air defense, is being sent to Brazil for investigation, Kazakh authorities reported on Dec. 29.

Photos provided by Azerbaijani media outlet AnewZ show that the Azerbaijan Airlines plane which crashed near Aktau in Kazakhstan has signs of damage consistent with an attack from outside the aircraft.
