KUALA LUMPUR: China said its satellites have detected three large floating objects in a suspected crash site near where the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 lost contact, the latest twist in a hunt which entered its sixth day Thursday.

China’s State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence said late Wednesday that a Chinese satellite had seen the objects in a “suspected crash sea area” in the South China Sea on March 9, and that the images were being analysed.
