The Australian Maritime Search Authority has released satellite images it believes could be the wreckage of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

AMSA posted the images on its website this afternoon. They show several objects – some as large as 24 metres in length – suspected to be parts of the fuselage of the plane. The pieces are floating in the Indian Ocean 2700km south-west of Perth.

The pictures were captured two days ago, meaning the wreckage could have shifted in the days since, complicating the identification and recovery mission.

Aircraft and navy vessels are currently travelling to the area to attempt to confirm whether the objects are related to the mysterious plane.
