Iran has demanded compensation from Ukraine over a deadly strike on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea, rejecting Kyiv's assertion that the attack was accidental, CBS News reported on Monday.

One sailor was killed in the strike last month, which Ukraine later said had been carried out by mistake.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei disputed Kyiv's explanation on Monday, saying Tehran had not been persuaded that the vessel was unintentionally targeted.
