A second train has arrived to take the remains away.
KIEV: Rescuers found 251 bodies and 86 fragments of bodies by late Sunday at the crash site of a Malaysian airliner and a second train with refrigerator wagons has arrived to take the remains away, an Ukrainian government committee said.
In a statement, the committee investigating the disaster said the first train where the remains of almost 200 victims had been placed before starting their journey home was stuck at the station in the town of Torez because “terrorists are blocking its exit”.
A search led by the Ukrainian government has so far found 196 bodies at the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, according to the Ukrainian State Emergency Service (SES) on Sunday.
The SES said 380 staff were taking part in the search that stretches across 34 sq km of eastern Ukraine.
However, it said that the search was being complicated by separatists at the site who were hindering the work of SES units.
Earlier, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said it had doubts over the number of bodies recovered from the downed MH17 or where they were taken or who moved them.
