MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Wednesday that radar data showed that Malaysian airliner MH17 was definitely not brought down by a rocket fired from territory held by pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine in 2014.

International prosecutors investigating the plane's downing are due to report their findings later on Wednesday and have said they will reveal the firing location and type of BUK missile used in the attack.
