Indonesian rescuers have located the wreckage of a missing government patrol plane and recovered all 10 victims. The discovery ends a seven-day search operation.
The aircraft, operated by Indonesia's Marine Affairs and Fisheries Ministry, disappeared from radar last week. It was on a routine patrol mission.
Search teams found the crash site in a remote, mountainous area. Recovery efforts were difficult due to the rough terrain.
Officials have confirmed the identities of only two victims so far. The process of identifying the remaining eight is ongoing.
The cause of the crash is under investigation. Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee will lead the probe.
