The United States Coast Guard announced on Thursday that it has discovered a “debris field” within the search area for the Titan submersible that went missing while exploring the Titanic wreckage.

“Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information,” it added.

The underwater remotely operated vehicles were deployed to search the floor of the Atlantic Ocean for the vessel on Thursday morning.

There has been no additional information made available about what the debris field was from.

This is a developing story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
