A missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 airliner has most certainly crashed in the southern part of the Indian Ocean, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak stated.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed the crash, citing the latest satellite data obtained from UK satellite company Inmarsat and the UK’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch.

“Based on their new analysis, [they] have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor and its last position was in the Indian Ocean, west of Perth, in Australia,” Razak said in a statement.

“This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean,” Prime Minister said.
