BEIJING (AP) - China's official Xinhua News Agency says a government website has images of suspected debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
The report says the satellite images from the morning of March 9 appear to show "three suspected floating objects" of varying sizes.
The report includes coordinates of a location in the sea off the southern tip of Vietnam and east of Malaysia.
China's State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense announced the discovery, including images of what it said were "three suspected floating objects and their sizes."
The report says the largest of the suspected pieces of debris measures (43 by 59 feet), 14 by 19 meters (46 by 62 feet) and 24 by 22 meters (79 feet by 72 feet).
