The new bit I suppose is this:
"They also narrowed down the area it was fired from to a field in territory controlled by Russian-backed rebels."
Little doubt has there been that the weapon used was made in Russia.

- kobeya 10y agoThat was from social media images that are not news. It was reported on at the time. I'm not sure what's new here other than a two years too late rubber stamp of eyewitness reports.
- mikeash 10y agoWhat's new is that the statement is now based on a great deal of hard evidence and investigation, rather than a couple of pictures and some internet commentators.
