Kiev, Jul 17 (Agencies): A Malaysian passenger airliner with 295 people on board crashed in Ukraine near the Russian border, Interfax cited an aviation industry source as saying on Thursday, reported Reuters.
It said the Boeing plane was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. Reuters could not immediately confirm the Interfax report.
The crashed flight was a Boeing 777-200.
This comes around four months after MH370, another Malaysian Airline flight mysteriously disappeared on 8 March 2014.
Since the area where the plane went down was an area of intense fighting between Russia and Ukraine, CNN correspondent from Ukrain says that the possiblity of the plane having been shot down cannot be ruled out.
