Most of the debris found in the Maldives were not from missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370, the Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lal has said.
Since the discovery of a wing fragment on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion in early August, some five islands in the Maldives have reported finding unidentified debris.
MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 people aboard while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Liow said a Malaysian team sent to the Madlives on Tuesday had examined the debris. “Most of the debris are negative. They are not related to MH370 and they are not plane material.”
