Malaysia: France has images of possible jet debris

KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia says France has satellite images of objects that could be from a passenger jet that went missing more than two weeks ago.

A statement Sunday from the Ministry of Transport said Malaysia had received the images from "French authorities showing potential objects in the vicinity of the southern corridor."

That is thought to be close to an area of the Indian Ocean where Australia and China have also had satellites capture images of objects that could be debris from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which went missing March 8 with 239 people on board.

Air and sea searches since Thursday in a remote area of the southern Indian Ocean to determine whether the objects were from the Malaysia jet have been unsuccessful.
