International investigators say a missile transported to Ukraine from Russia was responsible for shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. The Malaysian airplane crashed over eastern Ukraine in July 2014. The investigators released their findings Wednesday. They confirm an earlier investigation by the Dutch Safety Board. It found that the plane was brought down by a Russian-made surface-to-air missile. Russia has denied the Dutch finding. A year ago, the missile’s manufacturer said it investigated the incident. It said the missile was an older model and no longer being used by the Russian military. The manufacturer also said the missile was launched from an area under Ukrainian government control. On Wednesday, investigators said there is strong evidence that the territory from which the missile was fired “was controlled by pro-Russian fighters.” The earlier investigation identified a 320-square kilometer area from which the rocket launch must have taken place.
