KUALA LUMPUR - The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370) has been suspended due to adverse weather conditions in the southern Indian Ocean. According to Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook, the underwater search operation will resume towards the end of the year, when weather is expected to improve.
The missing flight, which vanished in March 2014 with 239 passengers and crew onboard, has been the subject of extensive search efforts. Previous searches have yielded no wreckage, leaving the mystery of MH370's disappearance unsolved.
The current search area is located in a remote part of the Indian Ocean, known for its challenging weather patterns. High waves and strong currents have made underwater exploration difficult and dangerous. The decision to suspend the search was made to ensure the safety of the search teams and the effectiveness of the operation.
Officials remain committed to finding the missing aircraft and providing closure to the families of those on board. The resumption of the search later this year will depend on weather conditions and the availability of resources.

Officials plan to resume the underwater search for the missing plane's wreckage near the end of the year. The Transport Minister of Malaysia, Loke Siew Fook, announced the delay.
