Five Chinese naval ships and three helicopters have been redirected to the southern Indian Ocean to help in the search for two large objects spotted by satellite that may be related to the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner.
The ships were originally heading to western Indonesia and the Bay of Bengal, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at a news conference on Friday.
