At least three refrigerated train carriages with bodies of those killed in the MH17 plane crash have departed from the town of Torez, near the site of the crash, to the town of Ilovaysk and are on their way to Donetsk.
Alternative reports suggest the train is still in Torez and the decision on where it will go depends on what authorities in Kiev say.
"So far, I do not know where they plan to take them," Sergey Kavtaradze, an official representative of the prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) told the Russian News Service.
The carriages at the Torez station were reportedly examined by the OSCE observers, who said there were 196 bodies inside.
That has not been confirmed by Alexander Hug, deputy chief monitor of the OSCE special monitoring mission to Ukraine, who said his team had actually seen body bags in the train carriages but were unable to count them, Reuters reports.
The bodies were lying in the heat for several days and have begun to decompose. By now special equipment is needed to deal with them.
Comment: The militia and residents were explicitly told not to move the bodies, even if they had fallen into their homes. It's good to see the militia has taken some initiative in this regard.
