Malaysia Airliner Crashes In East Ukraine Near Russia Border



A Malaysian airliner with 295 people on board has crashed in Ukraine on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, amid allegations it was shot down. According to BBC reports.

Dozens of bodies are scattered around what is believed to be the wreckage of the jet near the village of Grabovo, a Reuters correspondent reports.


Flight MH17 had been due to enter Russian airspace when contact was lost.

Both the Ukrainian government and rebels have denied shooting it down in the region close to the Russian border.

Russian separatists are believed to have shot down two Ukrainian military planes over the region in recent days.

Aircraft: Boeing 777-200ER
Crew: 15
Passengers: 280
Left Amsterdam: 10:30 GMT
Lost contact: 13:20 GMT at 10,000m (33,000ft)

Really sad, may their soul rest in peace!
