A piece of wing debris found in Mauritius is from MH370, Australian authorities said today as they cautioned the discovery shed no new light on the missing passenger jet’s specific location. The composite debris, recovered from the island nation in May, is the latest fragment found along western Indian Ocean shorelines linked to Malaysia Airlines MH370.
The Boeing 777 disappeared en route from Kuala lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014 carrying 239 passengers and crew.
Despite an extensive underwater search in the southern Indian Ocean far off Western Australia’s coast where investigators believe the plane crashed, no trace of the aircraft has been found there.
