THE Malaysian airliner show down over Ukraine last year was hit by a missile type used by the Kiev regime, Dutch investigators revealed yesterday.

The Dutch Safety Board released its long-awaited report into the downing of flight MH17 at the Gilze-Rijen military airbase 15 months after the disaster that killed 298 people.

Board chairman Tjibbe Joustra also criticised the Kiev government for allowing civilian aircraft to fly through a dangerous war zone.
