Investigators in Ukraine have considered the possibility that a missile strike or terrorism brought down a Ukrainian-operated Boeing 737 plane just minutes after takeoff in Iran, leaving all 176 passengers and crew members dead.

Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Chief Oleksiy Danilov wrote on social media that “a strike by a missile, possibly a Tor missile system, is among the main [theories], as information has surfaced on the internet about elements of a missile being found near the site of the crash,” according to a Fox News translation.
