Malaysian Airlines plane shot down over Ukraine-Russia border; 295 reported dead: Interfax

 

By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo News1 hour agoYahoo News

 

A Malaysian Airlines plane carrying was reportedly shot down and crashed near the Ukrainian-Russian border Thursday, killing all 295 people on board, an advisor to Ukraine's interior ministry said.

 

Flight MH17 was en route to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam.

A spokesman for Malaysian Airlines confirmed "an incident" involving one of its flights and is expected to release a statement shortly.
 

The adviser, quoted by Interfax, said the Maylasian plane was brought down by a ground-to-air missile.

Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine's interior minister, wrote on Facebook that the plane was flying at an altitude 33,000 feet when it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the White House was aware of reports of the crash but that he was "not in a position to confirm" details. President Barack Obama has been briefed and has directed his national security team to be "in close touch" with Ukrainian authorities, Earnest said.

Obama ignored a shouted question about reports of the crash as he made his way from the Oval Office to Marine One.

The crash comes four months after Malaysian Airlines Flight M370 lost contact less than an hour after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and vanished.

That flight, en route to was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members

Malaysia Airlines flight shot down by missiles, markets fearful

Malaysia Airlines flight was traveling from Amsterdam. The flight number was MH17 and Malaysian Airlines confirms last contact was over Ukraine.

Donetsk separatists are denying they were involved but that’s typical. There are other groups as well and no one will be taking responsibility for murdering about 300 civilians who are not involved in the conflict. Perhaps they were aiming at some other aircraft or were mistaken.

Bloomberg is also reporting on the official’s Facebook post, adding his belief that it was Ukrainian rebels that shot the plane down.

33000 ft lo vunna plane ni shoot cheyali ante.. Advanced missiles .. I m guessing heat seeking missiles.. Kavali kada.. How did the rebels got their hands on thise weapons?


BBC reports that Ukraine military planes have been shotdown by rebels before this incident... Makes me think the rebels have the capability..
Probably Russia supplied them
