Search for MH370 restarts with high-tech underwater drones

Nearly 12 years after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared with 239 people on board, a new search mission has begun (https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20251230-drones-dive-into-aviation-s-deepest-enigma-as-mh370-hunt-restarts) in the southern Indian Ocean. This time, investigators are using advanced underwater drones and deep-sea robotics to explore targeted areas believed to hold the highest likelihood of debris.

The mission is expected to run intermittently over several weeks, supported by newly refined satellite analysis and ocean-drift modelling. Only a few fragments have ever washed ashore since the disappearance, and families of victims continue to hope this renewed effort will finally bring answers to aviation’s greatest mystery.
