DSB Final Safety Report: Buk 9N314M Warhead Confirmed
The Dutch Safety Board publishes its comprehensive 279-page final safety report. The report confirms that MH17 was struck by a 9N314M-type warhead carried by a 9M38-series Buk surface-to-air missile, detonating above and to the left of the cockpit. The report also criticizes Ukrainian authorities for not closing higher altitudes and notes inadequate risk assessment by airlines and aviation authorities.
