SHAKHTARSK: Ukraine’s army on Monday seized control of part of the vast site where Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH17 crashed, insurgents said, as the United Nations announced the downing of the plane could constitute a war crime.
After explosions and fighting blocked a new attempt by Australian and Dutch police to access the east Ukraine crash site, Kiev confirmed that its troops had now entered a string of towns around the scene, including Shakhtarsk, 10km away.
