Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia says it has received new satellite images from France showing potential debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
It is the third set of images in a week of possible debris in the area, about 2500 kilometres south of Perth, which is currently being searched in a mission co-ordinated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
Malaysia’s Transport Ministry said the latest satellite information showed potential objects in the vicinity of the southern corridor and images had been passed on to AMSA.
“This morning, Malaysia received new satellite images from the French authorities showing potential objects in the vicinity of the southern corridor. Malaysia immediately relayed these images to the Australian rescue co-ordination centre,” the Transport Ministry said in a statement in Kuala Lumpur.
The latest satellite image now means that three different satellites have picked up what appears to be debris in the water in the area of the southern corridor search zone.
It is not yet known when the French images were taken or what exactly they show.
The latest possible sighting of debris from MH370 comes as the search for the missing jetliner, with 239 passengers and crew on board, enters its third week.
