CAIRO (Sputnik) – Egyptian servicemen, currently looking for the wreckage of the EgyptAir plane that crashed earlier this week have preliminarily determined the area where the plane’s flight recorders are located, local media reported.

"This zone is located 3-4 nautical miles away from the site of the crash… finding the flight recorders is a primary task," a source told the Ahram newspaper.
