Note, This is the second report. The first Dutch report blamed "high speed projectiles" or something like that. This report blames those rascally rebels, whoever they are, without mentioning who controls them.

The final report is due out in the middle of next year, after the winter heating season. It will probably be more critical of one of the EU's closest trading partners but probably without assigning actual blame for the murder of 298 people where it rightly belongs.

The second report is entirely consistent with the first. It just goes into greater detail. It was a Buk. Buks destroy an airplane by exploding into a cloud of shrapnel next to the plane.

The Buk was almost certainly fired by the rebels. It's also quite likely it was a Russian Buk (although it could also have been a captured Ukrainian Buk). There were reports of a Buk battery missing one of its missiles crossing the border (back) into Russia.

General Winter is assuming command.
