Moscow: A Russian military missile was responsible for shooting down flight MH17 over the eastern Ukraine in 2014, an international team of investigators said.
The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 was traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was shot down over the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine from Russia.
In 2016, the investigators announced they had evidence that the BUK system involved in the incident had crossed the border into the eastern Ukarine from Russia and returned after the plane had been shot down.
However, the Russian officials had denied the involvement in the incident, and on Thursday the defense ministry repeated these denials, claiming that no Russian missile had ever crossed into Ukraine.
