- The Karachi-based K2 Airways Boeing 737 reported a navigation system issue at 9:18pm on Tuesday before radar data showed the aircraft rapidly descending and vanishing 155 nautical miles west of Karachi.
- Five crew members were on board, and Flightradar24 data revealed a dramatic plunge with the final transmitted point at 1,100 feet showing a vertical rate of minus 22,400 feet per minute.
- Local authorities confirmed the aircraft remains lie over 50 miles south of Ormara, while The Pakistan Airports Authority and concerned organizations conduct search and rescue operations near the Arabian sea.
