At least five people were killed when an Indian military aircraft crashed in the northeastern state of Assam, according to Israeli media reports. The crash follows a similar incident earlier today involving an IAF AN-32 transport plane at the same region.
Two messages from Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig, relayed via N12, report at least five fatalities in a crash of an Indian military aircraft in the state of Assam. The report does not specify the type of aircraft or the circumstances of the crash.
This follows earlier reporting by The Zioneer at 14:33 Jerusalem of an Indian Air Force AN-32 transport aircraft that crashed while landing at Rowriah Air Force Station in Jorhat, Assam, with five IAF personnel feared dead. The source messaging does not explicitly state whether this is the same incident or a separate crash; however, the timing and location strongly suggest both reports refer to the same event. The earlier report named the aircraft as an AN-32 and noted the co-pilot survived.
The new reports confirm the death toll at five, consistent with the earlier assessment. Cause of the crash remains unconfirmed.
