Indonesian authorities say they have found the location where they believe a Boeing 737 passenger plane crashed into the sea shortly after take-off from the country's capital Jakarta today.
BBC News reports the Sriwijaya Air jet was carrying 62 people when it disappeared from radars four minutes into its journey to Pontianak in West Kalimantan province.
More than 10 ships have now been deployed to the site with navy divers.
Investigators are analysing items they believe to be wreckage.
The aircraft is not a 737 Max, the Boeing model that was grounded from March 2019 until last December following two deadly crashes.
There were thought to be 50 passengers - including seven children and three babies - and 12 crew on board, though the plane has a capacity of 130.
Officials told the BBC everyone on board was Indonesian.
