MH17 was shot down by Russian missile, say Dutch investigators

Dutch investigators announced Wednesday that Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by a Russian missile.

Fred Westerbeke, from the Joint Investigation Team, said the Buk rocket was fired from a nearby field in Pervomajsk, in eastern Ukraine, which at the time was in the hands of pro-Russian rebels.

All 298 people on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 were killed when it was brought down in July 2014.
