Ukraine should have closed air space over war zone: MH17 inquiry

-

Kiev should have closed the air space over eastern Ukraine because of the conflict with pro-Russian separatists, the official inquiry into the MH17 air disaster found Tuesday.

"We have concluded as a precaution there was sufficient reason for the Ukrainian authorities to close the air space above the eastern part of their country," the chairman of the Dutch Safety Board, Tjibbe Joustra, told a press conference.
