The Ukraine Airlines jet that crashed near Baghdad Airport shortly after taking off on Wednesday was ‘likely struck by a missile,’ according to experts.

The plane, carrying 176 people, was filmed engulfed in flames just before it crashed, killing all on board.

New footage has just emerged showing what appears to be a missile striking the aircraft.

Though the aircraft’s black boxes have been recovered, there is no official explanation yet as to what brought the plane down.
