The Malaysian prime minister today said based on unprecedented analysis of satellite data provided by the British company Inmarsat, he is announcing — “with deep sadness” — that Malaysia Airlines’ Flight 370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean off Perth, Australia, near where crews are searching for possible debris from the airliner.

He said more details would be forthcoming tomorrow.
