Flight MH17 was brought down by shrapnel that caused “massive explosive decompression,” analysis of the black box recorders has found.
The results, given today by Ukrainian security official Andriy Lysenko, have, however, left Dutch officials stunned as they did not expect the “premature” announcement.
Mr Lysenko told a news conference that the fragments had come from a rocket blast.
His source however, is under scrutiny after the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) confirmed they did not give the information to Ukraine.
DSB spokeswoman Sara Vernooij told The Independent: "I can’t make a comment on what source Mr. Lysenko has.
"We don’t want to confirm or say anything about the information on the black boxes right now; this in the best interest of the investigation itself.
"We want to analyse [and] combine information of several sources before we bring out anything, so we can give a coherent view on the whole investigation.
“Bringing out fragmented pieces of information is not on behalf of the investigation.”
