More remains found at MH17 crash site

MOSCOW -- New remains have been discovered at the site of a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 crash in eastern Ukraine, the Dutch government announced, according to TASS.

Workers on Nov. 16 began removing the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 from rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine, four months after it was shot down killing 298 passengers and crew.
      

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told his Malaysian counterpart on Sept. 10 that Ukraine bore "full responsibility" for the crash of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in which 298 were killed.
      

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 disintegrated over eastern Ukraine after it was likely hit by multiple objects "from outside the aircraft", the AP reported on Tuesday.

Dutch air crash investigators have announced that they will release a preliminary report next Tuesday into what brought down flight MH17 over east Ukraine, killing 298 passengers.
      
"The preliminary report will present factual information based on sources available to the Dutch Safety Board (OVV)," investigators said in a statement.
      

Air accident investigators successfully extracted data from Malaysia Airlines flight MH17's two "black boxes", Air Accident Investigation Branch lab in Farnborough said.
