Malaysia Airlines jet downed by shrapnel─── 07:48 Tue, 29 Jul 2014
Donetsk - Security officials in Ukraine say the downed Malaysia Airlines jet in eastern Ukraine suffered an explosive loss of pressure after it was punctured by shrapnel from a missile.
They say the information came from the plane's flight data recorders, which are being analysed by British experts. However, it remains unclear who fired a missile, with pro-Russia rebels and Ukraine blaming each other. Many of the 298 people killed on board flight MH17 were from the Netherlands.
Dutch investigators leading the inquiry into the crash have refused to comment on the Ukrainian claims. Ukraine's army says it has advanced into the town of Shakhtarsk, near the crash site.
A convoy of international forensic experts and police has been turned back twice in as many days.
