Debris found from F-35 jet in South Carolina after US pilot ejected

Military officials have found the debris of an F-35 military jet that went missing after the pilot ejected over South Carolina.

The wreckage of the $100m (£80m) plane - which disappeared on Sunday afternoon - was discovered in rural Williamsburg County, said authorities.

The pilot ejected from the cockpit and parachuted to safety in a North Charleston neighbourhood.

The public had been asked to help find the jet.

In a statement on Monday, military officials said the debris was found "two hours north-east of Joint Base Charleston".
