The U.S. now believes that separatists were responsible for firing the missile, a Department of Defense official said. Officials in Washington also confirmed that the missile was fired from a Russian-made SA-11, or Buk system, the official said.
The official cautioned on both findings that a U.S. probe isn't complete and investigators and analysts are still sifting the circumstances surrounding and leading up to the firing of the missile.
