Myanmar army plane crashes in India.

Six individuals sustained injuries when a military aircraft from Myanmar veered off the runway at Lengpui Airport in Mizoram, India, before reaching the terminal on Tuesday. The incident occurred at approximately 10:19, with a total of 14 people on board.

According to media reports, the purpose of the plane was to pick up Myanmar soldiers who had fled the Lawngtlai district due to conflicts between the Myanmar army and the civilian army.

Upon landing at Lengpui Airport in Mizoram, the plane skidded off the runway, and a video of the incident depicted rescue personnel at the accident site.

Last week, a group of 276 Myanmarese soldiers entered Mizoram, and on Monday, 184 of them were repatriated via Myanmar Air Force planes from Lengpui Airport to Sittwe in Rakhine state.

These soldiers had entered Bandukbanga village in the southernmost part of Mizoram’s Lawngtlai district on January 17, seeking refuge in Mizoram after their camp was captured by fighters from the ‘Arakan Army.
