India on Monday announced it is ready to offer help to hunt a Malaysian Airlines flight which went missing more than two days ago over the South China Sea.[Special coverage: Searching for missing MH370]
"I have sent my condolences (to the families of the passengers) and our ambassador (in Beijing) is in touch with them. We are ready to give any help, if required, or share information if we get any," Indian External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid told the media.
The Boeing 777-200ER, with 239 people on board including five Indian nationals, vanished on its way to Beijing from Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur on Saturday morning.
So far, the hunt for the missing plane has yielded no results, despite that dozens ships and aircraft from nine different nations are taking part in the search and rescue operation, according to Malaysian authorities.
Investigators pursued "every angle" to explain its disappearance, including hijacking, Malaysia's civil aviation chief said Monday, as two passengers managed to use stolen passports to board flight MH370.
