A Russian passenger plane carrying 224 people crashed in the Sinai peninsula Saturday, killing all on board, officials said.

Egypt’s government said the plane disappeared about 25 minutes after takeoff from the airport in Sharm el-Sheikh — a popular tourist destination — en route for St. Petersburg. The Airbus A321 operated by Metrojet had 217 passengers and seven crew on board. Seventeen children were among the dead, Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

Egyptian Air Force planes later spotted wreckage from the missing airliner close to al Hassana, in a mountainous area of the Sinai peninsula, according to a statement from the government which said 45 ambulances had been dispatched to the crash site.
