Kuala Lumpur, March 26 (RHC-Bernama) -- New satellite images have detected 122 potential objects that may be related to the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370 aircraft, approximately 2,557 km from Perth, Australia.

Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said today, the Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency (MRSA) yesterday received new satellite images which were taken on March 23, from Frech-based Airbus Defence and Space.

"It must be emphasised that we cannot tell whether the potential objects are from MH370. Nevertheless, this is another new lead that will help direct the search operation," said Hishammuddin.

He said the objects were also located not far from possible objects that might be related to the missing aircraft detected by French and Chinese satellites.

He said all the satellite leads would enable the search team to further reduce the search area, and locate more debris from the aircraft.

Hishammuddin said Australia, which is leading the search effort in the southern Indian Ocean, had divided the search area into two sectors, East and West.
