CANBERRA, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Search activities for the missing Malaysian jet have concluded for Saturday, after Chinese and Australian aircraft reported sighting multiple objects in a new search area in the southern Indian Ocean, the Australian maritime rescue authorities said.

Two ships, operating in the area, retrieved a number of objects from the ocean, but rescuers ruled out the possibility of them being related to the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, added the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
