The bodies and ashes of 20 Malaysians killed when Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over Ukraine in July arrived home on Friday, the first day of national mourning in the country's history.


It was the first repatriation of victims from the flight to the country, which is still coming to terms with the disappearance of Flight 370 and its 239 passengers and crew earlier this year.
The victims were carried aboard a specially chartered Malaysian Airlines jet and received in a solemn ceremony Friday on the tarmac of Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The coffins were draped in the Malaysian flag and carried by teams of eight soldiers to waiting hearses before being taken to private funerals.
The government has urged people to wear black and observe a minute of silence and prayer to honor the victims.
