13 Sept 20:19Key points summarised by AI
Indonesian rescuers recovered body parts and debris from the Java Sea after a Lion Air plane carrying 189 people crashed shortly after takeoff from Jakarta.
The pilot had requested to return to base 13 minutes into the flight before losing contact, with no distress signal received from the aircraft.
Lion Air's CEO confirmed the crashed Boeing 737 Max 8 had a previously resolved technical issue, but declined to specify its nature, adding other similar models remain operational.
Search efforts are ongoing for the main body of the plane, as officials have not confirmed any survivors.
