Moscow, Shawwal 07, 1435, August 03, 2014, SPA -- An international team uncovered the bodies of more Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 passengers Saturday as fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists continued elsewhere in eastern Ukraine, dpa reported. The remains are to be transported to the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Sunday and will then be flown to Eindhoven military airport in the Netherlands for identification. International monitors say dozens of bodies remain and evidence is still unsecured, two weeks after the Boeing 777 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile, according to the United States and European nations. Most of the 298 passengers on board were Dutch, Malaysian and Australian. Nearly 80 international experts were able to search the debris field unhindered by fighting for a second day as part of the first full-fledged access since last week. Meanwhile, fighting intensified around Donetsk and Luhansk. Ukrainian forces said they took control of the towns of Krasnogorovka and Staromikhailovka near Donetsk, cutting off the two separatist areas of Donetsk and Luhansk. --SPA 11:05 LOCAL TIME 08:05 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
