A section of wing found on Reunion Island has been confirmed to be part of missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
The Boeing 777 disappeared in March last year on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew on board.
The first real breakthrough in a 17-month search was confirmed by the Malaysian prime minister.
"Today, 515 days since the plane disappeared, it is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you that an international team of experts has conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370," Najib Razak told reporters.
"We now have physical evidence that on 31 March last year, flight MH370 tragically ended in the South Indian Ocean.
"I would like to assure all those affected by this tragedy that the government of Malaysia is committed to do everything within our means to find out the truth of what happened."
