Ukrainian plane brought down due to human error: Iran
Tehran/IBNS: Iran's military on Saturday said it shot down the Ukrainian passenger flight this week due to 'human error', reported Iran's state TV.
A Ukrainian plane which crashed earlier this week outside Tehran had flown close to a sensitive military site and brought down due to human error, General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran was quoted as saying by Press TV.
Iran had previously rejected suggestions that one of its missiles brought down the plane near the capital, Tehran, on Wednesday, BBC reported.
At least 176 people were killed as Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 crashed this week.
The incident occurred just hours after Iran carried out missile strikes on two airbases housing US forces in Iraq.
