Hunt for MH 370 continues after 'credible lead'

March 27, 2014 10:20

The Australia-led search and recovery operation for the crashed Malaysian airliner resumed today with six military aircraft, five civil aircraft and five ships in the search and rescue region in the southern Indian Ocean.

On Wednesday, in what Malaysia called the "most credible lead" so far in the multi-nation hunt for the lost Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, 122 objects were spotted in the remote southern Indian Ocean off the western Australian coast by French satellites that could possibly be debris of the ill-fated plane that went missing 18 days ago.

Australian Maritime Safety Authority said in an official statement, "Search activities today will involve a total of 11 aircraft and five ships. Today's search is split into two areas within the same proximity covering a cumulative 78,000 square km".
