(Worthy News) – A Ukrainian passenger jet crashed minutes after takeoff from Iran Wednesday, killing all 176 passengers and crew.

The Boeing 737-800 left from Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran and was bound for the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv before a fire from a technical malfunction sent it down, according to initial assessments from Western intelligence sources and Iranian authorities.

“We must investigate all possible causes,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a Facebook post shortly after the Ukrainian government took down a statement from its website agreeing with the Iranian assessment.
