Latest News Update 11:30pm: Monday 24/3/2014 (AEDT) Just to recap on the developments in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. The flight crew of a Royal Australian Air Force P-3 Orion has spotted debris - up to four objects - in the search area in the southern Indian Ocean, southwest of Perth. The P-3 Orion dropped flares onto the ocean as a marker for other search crews aboard aircraft and ships. The HMAS Success arrived in the location at approximately 7pm to pick up the debris and verify if it is part of the Boeing 777. So far they have not located the debris. The search will resume tomorrow morning at first light. A flight crew from a Chinese Ilyushin IL-76 search plane had also spotted debris in a different location earlier on Monday. The objects were described as two larger white and rectangular items and a number of smaller white fragments scattered over an area of a few kilometres. Chinese icebreaker Xuelong is en route to the search area and should arrive early on Tuesday morning. smh.au/world/malaysia-airlines-mh370-abbott-says-new-objects-found-20140324-35e3d.html#ixzz2wsrCvjco
