Families of the passengers and crew, who were killed when Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 was shot down over the Ukrainian border, have seen the plane's wreckage for the first time in the Netherlands, a report said.

Relatives travelled to the Gilze-Rijen military air base to see the charred remains of the Boeing 777 aircraft, reported the BBC.
