All passengers and crew on board the Ukrainian Boeing 737 plane that crashed shortly after take-off from Tehran on Wednesday were killed, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

“Our embassy is verifying information on the circumstances of the tragedy and the lists of the dead,” he said. “My condolences to the families of passengers and crew members.”

A senior official in the Ukrainian foreign ministry, Vassyl Kyrylych, told AFP that “168 people were on board according to a preliminary estimate.”

Flight PS752 from Tehran to Kiev was scheduled to arrive at 8:00 am on Wednesday, according to the flight status still displayed on the UIA website.
