On October 31, 2015, the Airbus A321-231, which was operated by the Russian airline Kogalymavia as charter departed from Sharm El Sheikh International Airport in Egypt and was bound for St. Petersburg, Russia. Just 23 minutes into the flight, the plane crashed in the Sinai Peninsula, killing all 224 passengers and crew members on board.

The investigation into the accident initially pointed to a technical fault, but it was later determined that the plane had been brought down by a bomb, which had been placed on board the aircraft by terrorists. The terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the attack cited Russia's military intervention in Syria as the reason for the attack. According to express.co.uk, the bomb has been located in Maria Ivleva's seat. The group known as ISIS jihadists claimed responsibility for the tragic incident and shared a photo online of a bomb they allege was smuggled onto the plane in a drink can at Sharm airport.

The incident was a devastating tragedy that shocked the world and raised concerns about aviation security. The aviation industry responded quickly, and many airlines implemented additional security measures to ensure passenger safety. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) also established new guidelines and recommendations for aviation security in response to the attack.
