Malaysia Airlines said via its Twitter feed:
"Malaysia Airlines has lost contact of MH17 from Amsterdam. The last known position was over Ukrainian airspace. More details to follow."Meanwhile, according to another report, the Ukraine’s interior minister said the Malaysian plane was “shot down.”
It is reported that the Minister believes the plane was shot down because Ukrainian air forces had been shooting down some some planes belonging to rebels in the past week.
