VOR minimums

What are the minimums for the VOR approach to Rwy 09 ? Is the approach aligned with the runway or offset?

Does anyone know what procedures this airline uses for non-precision (non-ILS) approaches? Many operators are still using the "dive and drive" method while many have adopted the constant rate descent method with a go around at MDA.

I am curious how radar reports say the aircraft never descended below MDA yet it impacted the ground? Something doesn't add up.

I hope the DFDR data solves the mystery so others can learn from it.
