Australia said that plane debris recovered from Mozambique is highly likely to have come from the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 that has been missing for more than two years.

The Malaysian Investigation Team found that both pieces of debris, recovered on February 28, are consistent with panels from a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft, officials said.

"The analysis has concluded the debris is almost certainly from MH370," Darren Chester, Australian minister for infrastructure and transport, said.

Flight MH370 disappeared with 239 passengers and crew on board, shortly after taking off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing in March 2014.
