Pakistani rescuers scoured the waters around the presumed crash site of a cargo plane on Wednesday, hours after it lost contact with air traffic control en route to Karachi.
The aircraft was operated by K2 Airways, a private cargo airline in Pakistan that operates scheduled and charter flights domestically and internationally.

The airline said it was cooperating with Pakistani Civil Aviation Authority and other government agencies. It said that five people — two pilots, two engineers and one member of support staff — were on board.
"We continue to pray, earnestly, for the safety of our colleagues," the aircraft operator said on Facebook.
