CAIRO — Debris from an EgyptAir plane that went down with at least 66 people on board was found on Friday in the Mediterranean Sea, the Egyptian military said.
EgyptAir Flight 804, an Airbus A320 jetliner, disappeared from radar screens early Thursday morning as it was flying to Cairo from Paris, prompting a large search for the wreckage.
An Egyptian Army spokesman, Brig. Gen. Mohammed Samir, said in a statement posted on his Facebook page on Friday that military planes and ships found “personal belongings of the passengers” and plane debris.
The wreckage was found 180 miles north of the city of Alexandria, according to General Samir.
