Downing of Ukrainian flight

A Ukrainian Boeing 737, scheduled on January 8, 2020 for an international civilian flight from Tehran to Kyiv, crashed minutes after taking off from Imam Khomeini Airport in Tehran.

The incident happened at a time of heightened tensions during a regional confrontation with the United States. After a couple of days, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that “human error” had led to the plane being shot down with two ground-to-air missiles.
