Malaysia Airline Crash In Ukraine

The world reacted with horror 10 years ago when Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down over war-torn eastern Ukraine as it flew from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.

A Dutch court convicted three men and acquitted one on Thursday over the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 above Ukraine in 2014, as tensions soar over Russia's invasion eight years later.

Dutch prosecutors said today that they have identified many "persons of interest" in their probe into the shooting down of flight MH17 over Ukraine, but no definite suspects.
