TEHRAN, Jan 8 — Iranian search and rescue teams have found the black boxes from a Ukrainian airliner that crashed today soon after takeoff from Tehran’s main airport, the country’s civil aviation authority said. The Ukrainian jet bound for Kiev slammed into a field before dawn at Khalaj Abad, about 45km north-west of Imam Khomeini International Airport.The plane belonged to Ukraine International Airlines, which said the Boeing 737 involved in the crash had been built in 2016 and was checked only two days before it went down.
The crash came shortly after Iran said it fired missiles at Iraqi bases in revenge for the killing of one of the Islamic republic’s top military commanders in a US drone strike on Friday.
