The wreckage from the missing EgyptAir Flight 804 has been located by Egyptian navy in the Mediterranean Sea 180 miles north of the coastal city of Alexandria, a military spokesman said Friday.
A statement by the Egyptian armed forces said the debris included belongings of passengers aboard the Airbus A320 aircraft, which lost radar contact early Thursday, four hours into a flight from Paris to Cairo, with 66 people aboard.
Investigators believe terrorism was the likely cause of the crash, but have not ruled out a technical failure.
The announcement confirmed that the aircraft had crashed and that all 56 passengers, seven crew members and three airline security personnel likely had not survived. EgyptAir tweeted a message of condolence to the families of the victims, saying it “deeply regrets this tragic accident.”
No group has claimed responsibility for the crash of Flight 804.
