Human remains have been found at the crash site of an F-16 fighter jet in Arizona, military officials said.

The jet crashed Thursday morning near Bagdad.

Additional tests will be conducted on the remains to determine whether it’s the pilot, the base said in a statement.

The F-16 and the pilot are from Taiwan.
