Description

A candlelit vigil was held for the victims of the Ukrainian International Airlines (UIA) flight PS752 in Toronto on Thursday evening.

Mourners placed lit candles next to pictures of the dead.

At least 63 victims were Canadian citizens and 138 people were headed Canada, according to the country's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The cause of the incident has developed into a diplomatic spat.

Western leaders said an Iranian missile caused the downing of the Boeing 737-800, possibly in error. Iran denied that a missile strike from its air defence systems was responsible.

A total of 176 people died when UIA flight PS752 crashed shortly after taking off from Tehran's Imam Khomeini airport en route to Kiev.
