Phu Quoc Island (

), March 13: In a major breakthrough today after five days of searching, a Chinese satellite has spotted objects similar to the missing Malaysian Airplane. However, a plane has been sent to the area for rechecking, said Vietnamese military sources.

Deputy Transport Minister Pham Quy Tieu said,"We are aware and we sent planes to cover that area over the past three days. Today a (military) plane will search the area again."
