Russia denies involvement. Putin and Obama had pre-scheduled phone meeting this morning to discuss recent conflict and yesterday's sanctions.(CNN) -- A Malaysia Airlines passenger jet crashed -- and was possibly shot down -- in eastern Ukraine on Thursday.
The plane had 280 passengers and 15 crew members on board, read a Facebook post from Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry.
The Boeing 777 was "shot down" over Ukraine by "terrorists" operating a Buk surface-to-air missile system, the post said.
The plane was shot down near the town on Torez in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, according to the post, as it flew at about 10,000 meters (32,000 feet).
Many RT News comments on Facebook are blaming false flag by US covert ops and Ukraine.
The blame game has begun.
