The Malaysian Government has reportedly issued an appeal to other Indian Ocean islands near the French-owned Reunion Island to look for more possible MH370 debris in the wake of the recent discovery of a wing suspected to be a part of the missing flight.

The Malaysia Airlines plane, carrying 239 people, and travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, vanished in March 2014, reports the BBC.

The wing part was discovered last Wednesday and has been taken to mainland France for laboratory tests.

But other items found at the weekend were not from an aircraft.
