The wreckage of the missing K2 Airways cargo Boeing 737 has been located in the Arabian Sea after nearly 12 hours of intensive search and rescue operations, Pakistan Airports Authority said on Wednesday.
According to an official statement, the Pakistan Navy (PN) and the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) successfully located and identified the wreckage of the cargo aircraft, which was declared missing late Tuesday night.
The wreckage was recovered approximately 53 nautical miles south of Ormara.
The search operation involved multiple air and sea assets deployed by the Pakistan Navy and PMSA in the deep sea to locate the aircraft.
Rescue teams are continuing efforts to search for the missing crew members, while authorities said further details will be shared as the search and rescue operation progresses.
The cargo Boeing 737 had gone missing after reporting a navigational system issue while en route from Sharjah to Karachi.
Air traffic controllers guided the aircraft following the reported malfunction, but radar later showed it descending rapidly before contact was lost west of Karachi.
