Another debris, possibly from MH370 found near Mauritius
The debris was spotted by two tourists on the coast of Rodrigues Island.
A piece of debris believed to be from the missing Malaysian Airlines MH370 which went missing more than two years ago over the Indian Ocean, was found in the island of Mauritius.
The debris was spotted by two tourists, Jean Dominique and Suzy Vitry on the beach on the coast of Rodrigues Island, CNN reported.
A spokesman for the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) Dan O’Malley said the Australian authorities were aware of the debris.
The plane with 239 people on board disappeared from the radar during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.
Earlier in March, two pieces of debris was discovered in Mozambique, which Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai had said were almost certainly from the missing MH370, as both parts are consistent with panels from a MAS Boeing 777 aircraft.
Liow said the examination on the debris at the Geoscience Australia and ATSB facilities in Canberra, Australia since March 21 had been completed.
The examination and analysis on the debris was carried out by international experts from the Malaysian ICAO Annex 13 Safety Investigation Team for MH370, ATSB, Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia (DCA) and Boeing, he said.
A wing fragment confirmed to be from MH370 was found on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion last year but Australia's Joint Agency Coordination Centre said it was "unlikely to be from an aircraft".
Currently, search efforts are conducted in the southern Indian Ocean where Flight MH370's final flight path was believed to have ended.
