Traces of explosives have been detected on remains of victims of an EgyptAir plane crash last May that killed all 66 people on board, the aviation ministry announced Thursday.

An official investigative committee which made the discovery has referred the case to Egypt’s state prosecution, it added in a statement.

The plane had been en route to Cairo from Paris when a fire broke out and it crashed into the eastern Mediterranean, investigators had previously said.

There were no survivors.
