Iran admits shooting down Ukrainian 737 by accident By Garrett Reim11 January 2020 www.flightglobal.com/iran-admits-shooting-down-ukrainian-737-by-accident/136104.articleIn a surprise move, the Iranian armed forces says it accidentally shot down a Boeing 737-800 flown by Ukraine International Airlines on 8 January. The admission comes after several days of repeated denials from Tehran that it had anything to do with the loss of flight PS752, an incident that killed 176 people. The nation now says that the aircraft was shot down by a missile battery manned by jumpy soldiers nervous about possible American air strikes.
