The
discovery comes after nearly two months of extensive underwater search
operations aimed at locating the aircraft's wreckage and flight recorder. The
operation has been carried out under exceptionally challenging conditions
because of the extreme depth and complexity of the underwater environment.

Pakistan Navy described the successful identification of the black box at such
a depth as a first-of-its-kind operation, underscoring the technical and
operational challenges involved.
Search
and recovery efforts for the aircraft's remaining wreckage are continuing.
