Malaysia Airlines MH370: Tony Abbott urges caution after Chinese ship detects pulse in southern Indian Ocean
Prime Minister Tony Abbott says searchers are "hopeful but by no means certain" that a pulse signal detected by a Chinese ship in the Indian Ocean is related to missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
Mr Abbott has urged caution following the most recent finding in a trail of disappointing leads to date.
"We need to be very careful about coming to hard and fast conclusions too soon," he said.
"This is the most difficult search in human history. We are searching for an aircraft which is at the bottom of a very deep ocean and it is a very, very wide search area."
