Malaysia has disclosed new satellite images of 122 objects that were spotted near two earlier sets of debris in the southern Indian Ocean, providing the latest clue in the hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, writes Jeremy Grant in Kuala Lumpur.
The latest images, provided by Airbus Defence and Space, a division of France’s Airbus Group, showed the objects – between 1m and 23m in length – in an area of about 400 sq km, approximately 2,500km southwest of the Australian city of Perth.
“Some of the objects appeared to be bright, possibly indicating solid materials,” Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia’s defence and acting transport minister, told a daily briefing.
