Malaysian Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said Saturday that it was impossible that an air-to-air missile was used to take down the MH17 flight, according to the report of The Star, a Malaysian English-language newspaper.

"It was a surface-to-air missile and in that area, such a system could be available to the Ukrainian side or the rebel forces," Hishammuddin added.

Previously there were reports saying that the U.S. intelligence analyst had concluded that the aircraft was brought down by an air- to-air missile, which was related to the Ukrainian government.
