Iranian court sentences 10 military personnel for downing Ukraine airliner.

Iran's judiciary has issued prison sentences for 10 individuals responsible for the downing of a Ukraine International Airlines commercial flight in January 2020. The prime suspect, the commander of the missile defence system that shot down the plane, received a 10-year discretionary sentence and three years for being "accessory to semi-intentional murder". Two personnel operating the missile system each received one-year sentences, while other officials were given sentences ranging from one to three years. The incident was caused by "human error" as the air defence battery personnel fired the missiles without proper clearance. The suspects will also reportedly face more punishments that were not specified by the judiciary.
