Two pieces of debris 'almost certainly' from missing MH370

Two more pieces of debris found in the Indian Ocean are "almost certainly" from missing flight MH370.

The latest items were discovered in South Africa and Rodrigues Island, off Mauritius.

It means a total of five pieces from the missing Boeing 777 which had 239 people on board have now been recovered.

Malaysian transport minister Liow Tiong Lai said the two new pieces were an engine cowling piece with a partial Rolls-Royce logo and an interior panel from an aircraft cabin - the first interior part found.

An international team of experts in Australia who examined the debris concluded that both pieces were consistent with panels found on a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, Mr Liow said.

"As such, the team has confirmed that both pieces of debris from South Africa and Rodrigues Island are almost certainly from MH370," he said in a statement.

In March, investigators confirmed two pieces of debris found along Mozambique's coast were almost certainly from the aircraft.

Last year, a wing part from the plane washed ashore on France's Reunion Island.

Flight 370 is believed to have crashed somewhere in a remote stretch of the southern Indian Ocean about 1,100 miles off Australia's west coast. A search has found nothing so far.
