Donetsk -- The collection of debris of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 at the crash site in the Donetsk region has been suspended after the experts discovered new human remains, presumably those of passengers from the doomed aircraft, a source from the transport ministry of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) told Interfax.

“Remains of human bodies have been found during the examination of the territory where the wreckage is scattered for unexploded mines and projectiles, and therefore the wreckage evacuation has been suspended. Specialists have transported the remains discovered to Kharkiv for conducting all the necessary procedures,” the source said.

It was reported earlier that a group of experts together with the DPR interior ministry and emergency situations ministry had started removing the wreckage from the crash scene.
