All 176 people aboard a Ukrainian plane were killed when it was mistakenly downed by an Iranian missile shortly after takeoff from Tehran on Wednesday.
The plane, a Boeing 737 operated by Ukraine International Airlines, was carrying 167 passengers and nine crew members. The victims included citizens of Iran, Canada, Ukraine, Sweden, Afghanistan, and the United Kingdom.
The Iranian government has admitted that the plane was shot down by an Iranian missile, but has said that it was a mistake. The Iranian military has said that the plane was mistaken for a hostile target.
The downing of the plane has been condemned by the international community. The United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom have all called for an independent investigation into the incident.
The Ukrainian government has said that it will not send any more planes to Iran until it is satisfied that the Iranian government has taken steps to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
