7K (Kogalymavia) SSH(Sharm el-Sheikh)-LED(St. Petersburg-Pulkovo) came up in neither Google Flights nor AlternativeAirlines nor FlightAware (most 7K/KGL flights have no data for 14+days) but I see its Wikipedia article is updated & RT says it's 7K9268 with a FlightRadar link.

The crashed Kolavia A321 plane reportedly had 224 passengers and crew on board. It reportedly had the registration number KGL 9628. Cyprus media are reporting that it rapidly descended shortly before entering Nicosia air traffic control territory. Egyptian military have arrived on the crash scene and say there is no chance of any survivors. There is speculation that it may have been shot down.
