Reuters - The next round of talks between Ukraine and Iran on compensation for a Ukrainian jet downed near Tehran in January is scheduled for October, the Ukrainian prosecutor general�s office said on Friday.

Iranian and Ukrainian delegations held the first round of talks on Thursday in Kyiv, with Ukraine�s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba calling them as �constructive�.

Iranian forces say they downed the Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737 jet after mistaking it for a missile at a time when tensions with the United States had risen. All 176 people on board - including 57 Canadians - were killed.
