Wreckage of Japan's F-35 jet found

Wreckage from a Japanese F-35A stealth fighter jet has been found a day after it disappeared off the radar over the Pacific, the country's defense minister said on Wednesday, Agence France-Presse reported.

"We recovered the wreckage and determined it was from the F-35," said a spokesman for the Air Self Defense Force, or ASDF.

There was no word yet on the fate of the one pilot on board the jet, Defence Minister Takeshi Iwaya said.
