Addis Ababa, January 8, 2020 (FBC) – A Ukrainian Boeing-737 with more than 170 people onboard has crashed in Iran, BBC quoted local media as saying.
Iran’s Red Crescent said there is no chance of finding survivors.
The aircraft belonging to Ukraine International Airlines crashed just after take-off from Iran’s Imam Khomeini airport in Tehran, said the Fars state news agency.
Preliminary reports suggest that the plane was en route to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
It is unclear whether the incident is linked to the Iran-US confrontation.
