AirAsia cockpit voice recorder found
Divers in the Java Sea have retrieved the cockpit voice recorder from the crashed AirAsia flight QZ8501, say officials.
The retrieval comes a day after the first piece of the so-called black box, the flight data recorder, was also found and brought to shore.
The aircraft with 162 people on board disappeared between Surabaya in Indonesia and Singapore on 28 December.
The two devices will help investigators understand more about what went wrong.
Search and rescue agency chiefs would not immediately confirm the voice recorder find - a formal announcement is expected later.
But an official involved in the search mission told reporters the device was now on board Indonesia's Banda Aceh warship, in the Java Sea.
The flight data recorder, recovered on Monday, contains information about the speed at which the plane was travelling, its altitude and other technical information.
The second device records all conversations between pilots in the cockpit.
