01 · THE DISPATCH

New footage released at 14:48 Jerusalem shows the moment of impact and subsequent fire as an Indian Air Force transport plane crashed on the runway at Rowriah Air Force Station in Jorhat, Assam. The co-pilot survived and was evacuated for medical treatment, while five crew members were killed. This development follows the initial crash report at 10:36 Jerusalem, which stated an AN-32 transport aircraft had crashed during landing with the pilot believed dead. By the same timestamp, the death toll was confirmed at five, with the co-pilot reported to have survived. The narrative has remained consistent across versions, with survivor count narrowing from early fears to a confirmed single survivor. As The Zioneer reported at 14:48 Jerusalem, this crash follows an earlier Indian military aircraft incident in the same region today, though no connection has been officially established. The cause of the crash remains under investigation by Indian authorities.
