According to reports, a Malaysia Airlines flight en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed near the Ukrainian-Russia border on Thursday, killing all 295 on board.
Early reports also suggest that the plane, flight MH17, may have been shot down by a ground-to-air missile, which was confirmed by Anton Gerashenko, an advisor to Ukraine's interior minister.
Malaysian Prime Minister Mohd Najib Tun Razak tweeted his shock at that incident.
I am shocked by reports that an MH plane crashed. We are launching an immediate investigation.
