New remains of the Malaysian passenger plane found in Ukraine

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said investigators found the remains of an unspecified number of bodies where Malaysian passenger plane crashed in the eastern part of Ukraine.
He in  news conference in The Hague said that rescue teams from the Netherlands, Ukraine and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) had a rare opportunity Thursday to reach the safe place where there are remains of the plane.

Access to the area is very difficult because of fighting between pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian army.

The plane crashed on July 17, killing all 298 passengers and crew, most Dutch citizens. So far, 284 victims have been identified.
