Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 crashed as a result of a Russian-made 9M38 Buk missile, the Dutch Safety Board says.
The missile hit the front left of the plane, as a result of which part of the plane broke off, it said in a final report into the disaster.
The West and Ukraine say Russian-backed rebels brought down the Boeing 777. But Russia claims a missile was fired from Ukrainian-controlled territory.
The report will not apportion blame but says airspace should have been closed.
Relatives of some of the 298 people who died over Ukraine in 2014 have been told victims would have lost consciousness almost immediately.
The plane - flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur - crashed in rebel-held eastern Ukraine on 17 July 2014 at the height of the conflict between government troops and the pro-Russian separatists.
Among the victims were 196 Dutch nationals and 10 Britons.

Media captionBarry Sweeney: "I'm going to have to think Liam died instantly... because otherwise it will hurt forever"
The Dutch Safety Board presented its findings first to the victims' relatives before briefing reporters at the Gilze-Rijen military base in the Netherlands.
The board showed parts of the aircraft that have been brought back from the rebel-held Donetsk region and reconstructed.
The report looks at four key issues:
what caused the plane to disintegrate in mid-air
why it was flying over the conflict region
why some relatives had to wait four days before receiving official confirmation that their loved ones were on board
to what extent passengers and crew were aware of what was happening in the final moments. |
