Just in: Missing #EgyptAir aircraft debris found south of Greek island of Karpathos in southern Mediterranean, reports Reuters quoting Greek state TV.  Greek authorities spot two floating objects in sea 50 miles south-east of area where plane dropped off radar.


French President Francois Hollande confirmed today that the EgyptAir flight that disappeared from radar screens over the Mediterranean had "crashed".


"We must ensure that we know everything on the causes of what happened. No hypothesis is ruled out or favoured," he said in a televised address.


"Whether it was an accident or another hypothesis that everyone has on their mind - a terrorist hypothesis... at this stage we must focus on our solidarity with the families and the search for the causes of the catastrophe," Hollande added.


The Paris prosecutor's office said its accident department had opened an investigation into the crash. The EgyptAir flight from Paris to Cairo crashed into the Mediterranean between the Greek islands and the Egyptian coast early today with 66 people on board.
