Yeecar:

A Russian plane carrying more than 200 passengers has crashed in Egypt.
The plane, which was carrying the passengers from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, crashed in Central Sinai, killing all of those on board.
The jet, said to be operated by the Russian company, Kogalymavia and branded ‘Metrojet’, had been reported as “completely destroyed with all on board likely to have died,” according to a security officer from the search and rescue team.
The Islamic State had said it was responsible for the crash, claiming that it shut the plane down through the Aamaq website, which serves as a semi-official news agency for IS.
“The fighters of the Islamic State were able to down a Russian plane over Sinai province that was carrying over 220 Russian crusaders. They were all killed, thanks be to God,” the statement circulated on Twitter said.
Destined for St Petersburg, the plane was carrying 224 people, including 17 children and seven crew members.
Egypt’s health ministry said it had dispatched 45 ambulances to the scene to “evacuate the dead and wounded,” which indicated the possibility of survivors.
Northern Sinai is home to groups of Islamist militants, many affiliated to Islamic State.
A statement from the Egyptian prime minister’s office said a cabinet-level crisis committee had been formed to deal with the crash, which was believed to have been caused by a mechanical failure.
