Pakistani rescuers scour waters for cargo plane missing off Karachi coast

A converted freighter operated by K2 Airways disappeared over the Arabian Sea off the coast of Karachi, Pakistan, after reporting a navigational system issue. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-400, experienced a series of rapid altitude changes before vanishing from radar, with flight-tracking data indicating a dramatic and abnormal descent. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif ordered a search and rescue operation, though no official confirmation of the crew's fate has been released. The incident marks the first fatal aviation accident in Pakistan since 2020. The aircraft, previously used by Aeroflot in Russia, was converted to a freighter in 2012 and had only recently entered service with K2 Airways.
