Dutch investigators conclude Russian army downed MH17

Dutch investigators have concluded that a Russian anti-aircraft missile brigade is responsible for shooting down a Malaysian Airlines passenger plane over eastern Ukraine in 2014, The Guardian reports. The disaster resulted in the deaths of all 298 people on board.

Russia has repeatedly denied involvement in shooting down MH17, and has used its veto power at the United Nations to block an international tribunal over the incident. Dutch investigators say they are convinced Russia is behind the attack because they managed to identify a specific BUK missile system that was used, which was traced to a brigade in Kursk, in western Russia.

MH17 had been traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was shot down.
