THE HAGUE (AFP): People charged with being involved in shooting down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014 moved the BUK missile battery back to Russia, a Dutch court heard Thursday (June 10).

Judges have been examining the route taken by a ground-air missile system that destroyed the Boeing 777 on July 17, 2014, killing all 298 people on board, including 196 Dutch citizens and 20 Malaysians.
