Egypt said Friday that debris from the missing EgyptAir flight had been recovered from the Mediterranean along with human remains. Flight MS804 was en route to Cairo from Paris when it vanished from radar early Thursday with 66 people on board.

The Egyptian army announced Friday that it had located plane debris and passengers' personal belongings some 190 miles (306 kilometres) north of the city of Alexandria in the Mediterranean Sea.

Egypt’s civil aviation confirmed later that the military had also found human remains believed to belong to those on board.

“The Egyptian navy was able to retrieve more debris from the plane, some of the passengers’ belongings, human remains and plane seats. The search is ongoing,” the ministry said in a statement.

The Airbus A320 plane was flying from Paris to Cairo when it disappeared early Thursday over the sea. The 66 passengers and crew on board included 30 Egyptians, 15 French, two Iraqis and one passenger each from the United Kingdom, Belgium, Chad, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Portugal, Algeria, Canada and Kuwait.
