A new report from the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) revealed the findings on the crash of the previously missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, also known as MH370.

The report claims that a "surface-to-air missile" exploded near the cockpit of the airplane, immediately killing three crew members.

After the explosion, the front of the airplane "broke off," which led the aircraft to crash over the eastern region of Ukraine.

The report did not explicit say who was behind the missile launch, although DSB chairmane Tjibbe Joustra said that it was a "Russian-made Buk missile fired from eastern Ukraine," as per USA Today.

The missile that resulted in the crash of the MH370 allegedly fits into a Buk rocket system, which then links it to Russian military technology. According to Complex:

"Joustra also suggested that Ukraine should have closed its airspace to civil aircraft due to the extensive conflict ongoing between Russian-supported 'separatists' and various government forces: 'None of the parties involved recognized the risk from the armed conflict on the ground.'"

As reported by CNN, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told reporters on Tuesday:

"What I would really like to do is to call on the Russian authorities to respect and also give full cooperation to this report and the continued investigation that the criminal prosecutors are doing. [...] We must do the utmost so that the people who did it will not avoid punishment."

As for the deceased passengers of the aircraft, Unilad reports that a "wreckage of a crashed plane filled with 'many skeletons' and painted with the Malaysian flag has reportedly been stumbled across by birdwatchers on a remote island near the Philippines."

Speculations have surfaced that the debris - found in the jungle of Sugbay Island - is part of the missing MH370 plane that had 239 passengers on board.

Audio technician Jamil Omar contacted Malaysian police to report that his aunt, Siti Kayam, had stumbled on the wreckage while she and some others were hunting for birds.

Borneo-based police commissioner Jalaludin Abdul Rahman said that Kayam claimed to climb onto the fuselage and saw skeletons, including one in the pilot seat:

"Jamil claimed his aunt had entered the aircraft wreckage, which had many human skeletons and bones. She also found a Malaysian flag measuring 70 inches long and 35 inches wide."

While no reports have confirmed if the wreckage is from the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, police authorities are still undergoing investigation on the claims.
