Investigators in the Netherlands have claimed to find fragments of a suspected Russian Buk surface-to-air missile system at the crash site of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine.

According to the BBC, investigators said that the parts of the Buk system could show who was behind the crash.

They said that the parts are "of particular interest".

Ukraine and many western countries have accused pro-Russian rebels of shooting down the plane, saying they could have used a Buk missile system supplied by Russia.

Flight MH17 crashed on land held by pro-Russian separatists in July 2014, killing all 298 on board.
