Debris from the missing EgyptAir plane has been found in the Mediterranean sea, 180 miles north of the coastal city of Alexandria, media reports quoted the Egyptian military as saying on Friday.

The navy had also found some of the passengers’ belongings and was sweeping the area in search of the plane’s black box.
