A preliminary report by Dutch investigators has said that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, which crashed in eastern Ukraine in July, was downed by a "large number of high-energy objects".
The report, by the Dutch Safety Board, said that the objects caused "structural damage" which led to the Boeing 777-200 to "breaking up in the air". The objects "penetrated the aircraft from the outside".
The report found no evidence of technical faults in the plane.

The aircraft's cockpit voice recorder, flight data recorder and data from air traffic control all suggested that the flight proceeded as normal, until it "ended abruptly" at 13:20:03 UTC.
Evidence from the cockpit voice recorder revealed no evidence of technical faults or an emergency situation, and no warning tones were heard. System warnings were not picked up by the flight data recorder (pictured), and no emergency call was made to Ukrainian air traffic control.
