A new video shows that two missiles struck Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, which crashed shortly after taking off from the airport in Tehran early last Wednesday.

The video appears to be from a security camera on the roof of a building near where the plane was struck. The video, which was uploaded to YouTube by an Iranian user early on Tuesday, was verified as authentic by a New York Times investigative team.

The crash happened hours after Iran fired a barrage of missiles at two military bases in Iraq housing US forces. Iranian officials initially denied that it shot down the plane, before reversing and confirming that it fired the missiles, blaming human error as the military was on high alert in case of retaliatory strikes.
