Dutch and Australian police who were planning to head to the crash site on Sunday have had to scrap their trip over security concerns, a OSCE spokesman said.

"There is fighting going on. We can't take the risk. The security situation on the way to the site and on the site itself is unacceptable for our unarmed observer mission," said Alexander Hug, deputy chief monitor of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's special mission in Ukraine.
