Please pray for the families of the 224 people who perished on this plane. The investigation will include a look at terrorism even though the Egyptian authorities have indicated the plane wasn’t shot down.
A Russian passenger plane carrying 224 people has crashed over central Sinai, Egypt’s Prime Minister’s office has confirmed.
The plane was travelling from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to the Russian city of St Petersburg, according to Egypt’s state-run news agency, MENA.
