About 11.30 local time (8.30 GMT), two Ukrainian military planes, thought to be Su-25s, were spotted in the skies above the town of Shakhtersk, which is 30 kilometers from the crash site.
Missiles hit a field near the town - one of them exploded 200 meters from a check-point, according to a Ria Novosti correspondent.
A crater was seen at the spot of the explosion. As yet, there have been no reports of any victims.
On Monday Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ordered a ceasefire within a radius of 40km from the crash site of Malaysian Airways flight MH17 in Donetsk Region.
Dutch experts arrived in Ukraine to inspect the train containing the bodies of the plane crash victims - they are later set to join the investigation at the crash site, along with Malaysian experts who are also there.
A group of 12 Malaysian experts and officials witnessed an artillery attack from Ukrainian forces on their way to Donetsk on Monday, according to the militia in the east.
The Malaysian Boeing crashed on July 17 in the Donetsk region - all 298 passengers and crew on board died. Kiev authorities accused the militia of the catastrophe.
However, the militia stressed that they don't possess the means to shoot down an aircraft at such an altitude.
On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement saying that they detected a Ukrainian SU-25 fighter jet gaining height towards the MH17 Boeing on the day of the catastrophe. The Ministry asked the Ukrainian government to explain why a military plane was tracking a passenger jet.
At the moment of the tragedy, an American satellite was flying over the area of eastern Ukraine, according to Russia's Defense Ministry.
It called on Washington to publish the space photos and data captured by it.
Listen to the minister of foreign affairs, (just keep a bucket ready) first-rate actor, and master of projection speaking to the UN security council yesterday, in regards to an idiotic resolution that condemns the downing of MH17 and that they have now adopted.
His fake indignation, anger and emotion is truly sickening.
