A preliminary report into the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 says the plane was likely hit by what it describes as "high-energy objects".

But the Dutch Safety Board stopped short of saying it was shot down by a missile while flying over Ukraine.

Two hundred and ninety eight people were killed when the plane went down in July.
