AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte will shorten his visit to India by a day in order to join cabinet discussions on Friday about new findings on the downing of passenger flight MH17 over Ukraine in 2014, Dutch news agency ANP said on Thursday.

Prosecutors investigating the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 said on Thursday they had identified the missile used to shoot down the plane on July 17, 2014, as coming from a Russian military unit.
