Origin: Search teams locate K2 Airways 737 wreckage
Pakistan Airports Authority said teams found and identified wreckage from a K2 Airways Boeing 737 cargo plane in the Arabian Sea on July 8, about 12 hours after it went missing off Pakistan’s coast. Debris was located roughly 53 nautical miles south of Ormara.
The freighter was operating K2 Airways flight 1732 from Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, to Karachi with five crew on board. It lost contact with air traffic control after the crew reported a navigation system fault.
Flightradar24 data indicate the aircraft had been cruising near 35,000 feet before a rapid descent into the sea southwest of Karachi. Early reports placed the crash area off Pakistan’s southern coast.
Pakistani rescuers have recovered wreckage and continue deep-sea search operations for the missing five crew members. Recovery efforts involve coordinated air and sea assets.
The cause of the crash has not been determined, and officials have not announced any casualties. Searches are continuing as authorities work to secure more debris and evidence.
