WASHINGTON
(NYTIMES) - The New York Times has verified security camera footage on Tuesday
(Jan 14) that shows, for the first time, that two missiles hit Ukraine
International Airlines Flight 752 on Jan 8. The missiles were launched from an
Iranian military site around 13km from the plane. The new video fills a gap
about why the plane’s transponder stopped working, seconds before it was hit by
a second missile. An earlier Times analysis confirmed what Iran later admitted:
that an Iranian missile did strike the plane. The Times also established that
the transponder stopped working before that missile hit the plane.
