Ethiopia is set to release an interim report into the Boeing jet crash that left 157 passengers and crew dead.

"We are not ready to release the final report and so we are releasing an interim one which will come out before the anniversary of the accident. We are finalising it," the country's chief crash investigator, told Reuters.

It's unclear when the final report will be released.

Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 crashed six minutes after take-off from Addis Ababa on March 10, five months after the deadly Lion Air crash in Indonesia.
