The Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) Boeing went down outside Tehran shortly after take-off on Wednesday, killing all 176 people on board. The council is tasked with coordinating the probe into the disaster, the first fatal crash involving Ukraine’s biggest carrier UIA. Danilov told AFP that for the moment there was no reason to believe that the airliner had been hit by a missile. “We are very carefully studying all seven versions,” he said. Dozens of top Ukrainian experts flew to Tehran early Thursday and were currently working in the country, the council said.
