WASHINGTON, D.C.:Two Iranian missiles struck down a Ukrainian passenger jet, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, posting verified security camera footage showing double projectiles gliding through the sky before hitting their target. The Ukraine International Airlines plane was brought down shortly after takeoff on Wednesday, killing all 176 passengers and crew on board. Tehran had for days denied Western claims based on US intelligence that the Boeing 737 had been downed by a missile. The blurry footage shows the plane on fire and circling back to Tehran’s airport, the Times said. The footage was shot from a rooftop in Bidkaneh, a village four miles from an Iranian military site, the Times said.
