Boeing 737 Cargo Plane Missing Off Pakistan Coast

A Pakistan-registered Boeing 737 cargo plane carrying five crew members lost contact with air traffic control on Tuesday night. The aircraft, operated by K2 Airways from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, was en route to Karachi, Pakistan, when it reported a navigational system problem. Early flight data from Flightradar24 suggests the 27-year-old converted freighter may have crashed into the sea southwest of Karachi. The data indicated a series of sharp altitude changes followed by a steep final descent before contact was lost. Aviation authorities in Pakistan confirmed the incident and initiated a search operation. The exact circumstances leading to the disappearance are currently under investigation.
