Bodies of 11 Ukrainians killed when a passenger plane over Tehran was targeted in an Iranian missile attack arrived in Ukraine for a farewell ceremony.
The bodies of the 11 Ukrainians who died when an Iranian missile shot down a passenger plane arrived in Ukraine Sunday for a farewell ceremony.
They were among the 176 people killed in the Jan. 8 catastrophe, when a Ukrainian Airlines plane heading to Kyiv was brought down shortly after takeoff from Tehran. Iran acknowledged three days later that the plane was mistakenly hit by an anti-aircraft missile. On Sunday, the bodies were brought to Kyiv’s Boryspil International Airport aboard a Ukrainian air force plane. An honor guard solemnly carried the coffins into the airport terminal, where a farewell observance was to last until the evening.
