On July 17, a Malaysia Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur
crashed in Ukraine’s eastern region of Donetsk, killing all 298 people
on board. According to the preliminary report by the Dutch Safety Board,
the Malaysia Airlines flight broke up in the air probably as the result
of structural damage caused by a large number of high-energy objects
that penetrated the aircraft from the outside.
Dutch experts that arrived at the crash site of the Malaysian MH17
flight in eastern Ukraine to collect the passenger plane’s wreckage have
excluded the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) from the
new version of the November 10 protocol, the republic’s Emergencies
Minister Alexei Kostrubitsky told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.
