The RNZAF which had conducted a reconnaissance flight, says a fire followed the removal of the crew, leaving the vessel burnt out.
RNZ has requested a statement from the government of Niue multiple times, but they have yet to respond.
The anonymous source said more was expected to be revealed over the next three days.
