Jorhat, Assam \u2014

An Indian Air Force (IAF) AN-32 transport aircraft crashed and caught fire while landing at the Air Force Station in Assam’s Jorhat on Saturday morning, prompting an immediate emergency response and the launch of an investigation into the incident.

According to preliminary information, the aircraft went down within the confines of the air base during the landing phase of its flight. Moments after the crash, a fire broke out, sending emergency crews rushing to the scene.

Firefighting and rescue teams were swiftly deployed to contain the blaze and secure the area, while military authorities began assessing the extent of the damage.

The Indian Air Force confirmed the incident but said that the exact cause of the crash has not yet been determined. Officials have also not released details regarding the number of personnel on board or whether there were any casualties or injuries.

“Further information will be shared after a detailed assessment of the situation,” the Air Force said in an initial statement.

The AN-32 is a twin-engine military transport aircraft that has been a key component of the Indian Air Force’s logistical and operational fleet for decades, particularly in challenging terrains and remote regions across the country.

The crash has triggered a standard investigation process, with aviation and military experts expected to examine technical, operational and environmental factors that may have contributed to the incident.

The accident occurred within a secured military installation, and authorities are continuing efforts to gather evidence and establish the sequence of events leading up to the crash.

More details are expected to emerge as the assessment and inquiry progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
