Ukraine has said it is too early to comment on the cause of the crash of flight PS752 on Wednesday, its Prime Minister said during a press conference in Kiev.

"Any versions before the official conclusion is just manipulation,” Oleksiy Honcharuk said in response to a question about speculation that a rocket strike caused the crash.

He said Ukraine had asked to join an Iranian-led investigation into the crash.
