New sightings of ‘suspicious objects’ have been found as the search continues for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH37.
China’s state news agency reported that a Chinese plane crew spotted some "suspicious objects in the southern Indian Ocean" in an area that had been identified by satellite imagery as containing possible debris from the missing plane.
The crew relayed the coordinates of the objects to the Australian command center and to a Chinese ship, the icebreaker Xuelong, which is on its way to the location, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Rain and poor weather conditions were expected to slow the search in the area about 1,500 miles southwest of Perth.
French authorities found new satellite images showing potential debris of the missing flight yesterday.
On its Facebook page, the Malaysian ministry of transport said it has relayed the images to the Australian rescue co-ordination centre.
It said meanwhile the search and rescue operation off the coast of Perth remains an international effort, with all countries "displaying unprecedented levels of co-operation".
Australia, China and France have now released satellite images that show potential objects in southern corridor, which may be related to the missing plane.
Flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.
Officials believe the plane was deliberately taken off course.
