Iran shot down a Ukrainian jetliner near Tehran, killing all 176 on board, as it was firing ballistic missiles at US troops in Iraq.
The fire broke out when one vessel was transferring fuel to another, driving the crews from both ships to jump overboard. Sixteen of the 31 crew were Turkish nationals. At least some of the rest were Indian nationals, according to early reports.
