"The disintegration happened in the air and the fragments are strewn over a large area," committee chief Viktor Sorochenko was quoted as saying by RIA-Novosti news agency in Cairo, where he is part of an international panel of experts from Russia, Egypt, France and Ireland.
International investigators Sunday began probing why a Russian airliner carrying 224 people crashed in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, killing everyone on board, as rescue workers widened their search for missing victims.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi urged people to await the outcome of the investigation to determine the cause of the crash, after the Islamic State jihadist group claimed it brought down the A-321.
