MH17: Report into downing of flight 'will say shot by Russian-made BUK missile'

A major report in to what caused the downing of flight MH17 with the loss of 298 lives will conclude it was shot down by a Russian-made Buk missile, according to a Dutch newspaper.

The findings of the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) will be released later in The Hague to relatives of those on the Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur Boeing 777 last July.

Ten of those who died in the disaster over rebel-controlled eastern Ukraine were British.

The respected Volkskrant newspaper has reported the inquiry will say the Malaysia Airlines flight was downed by a Russian surface-to-air missile.

The inquiry has not indicated who fired the rocket. That will be addressed by criminal investigators who will report back later.
