Black boxes recovered from Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 show the plane was brought down by shrapnel that caused massive explosive decompression, According to the Independent, a Ukrainian security spokesman said.

National security spokesman Andriy Lysenko said Monday in Kiev that the Boeing 777 suffered “massive explosive decompression” after it was hit by shrapnel from a missile.
Data from MH17's black boxes was decrypted in Britain after being handed over to Malaysian officials by pro-Russian rebels who control the crash site.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 crashed on July 17 as it flew over eastern Ukraine en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, killing all 298 people on board. U.S. intelligence officials have said they believe it was accidentally shot down by pro-Russian separatists with a Russian-made SA-11 missile involving training and possibly participation by Russian forces. Russia accuses Ukraine of downing the plane.

Investigators leading the MH17 probe in the Netherlands have refused to confirm the new information. They are expected to release their initial findings on August 1.
