The search for missing flight MH370 continues, and a Chinese satellite has reportedly spotted a new floating object in the southern search area.

The image taken on Tuesday shows an object measuring about 22-meters long and 13-meters wide, located about 120 kilometers southwest from where Australian satellites earlier detected two other objects.

Malaysia’s acting transport minister said China will be sending ships to verify the objects and will release more details in the coming hours.
