Officials with Joint Base Charleston announced that debris from a missing F-35 fighter jet has been located in Williamsburg County.

Authorities said the debris was discovered two hours northeast of JBC. Members of the community should avoid the area as the recovery team secures the debris field, officials said in a statement.

The search began on Sept. 17 after a “mishap” caused the pilot to safely eject from the jet.
