BUNNIK, Holanda (AP) — El análisis detallado de las imágenes de video determinó sin lugar a equívoco que el misil Buk que derribó el vuelo MH17 de Malaysia Airlines sobre Ucrania hace casi cuatro años salió de una unidad militar con base en Rusia, dijo el jueves un equipo internacional de investigadores. Este es el vínculo más claro de los publicados por el equipo hasta la fecha sobre la implicación del ejército ruso en el letal incidente. Los fiscales dijeron que presentaron sus conclusiones a Moscú y están a la espera de respuestas.
