The Mizoram DGP stated that the injured were admitted to Lengpui Hospital. There were fourteen passengers on board the plane, including the pilot.
Tuesday’s crash-landing of a Myanmar Army plane at Lengpui airport in Mizoram left six injured out of the fourteen persons on board, including the pilot. The injured were sent to Lengpui Hospital, according to the Mizoram director general of police.
Early reports stated that the aircraft, which sustained damage after deviating off the runway at Lengpui airport, had come to pick up men from the Myanmar Army who had recently entered India.
The incident took place on the same day that an Assam Rifles official announced that India had returned 184 soldiers from Myanmar to their own country after they had fled to Mizoram last week after engaging in gunfire with an ethnic insurgent organisation.
According to the official, 184 of the 276 Myanmarese soldiers who had infiltrated Mizoram last week were ordered back on Monday. She added that they were transported by air on Myanmar Air Force aircraft from Lengpui Airport, close to Aizawl, to Sittwe in the adjoining state of Rakhine.
She also stated that the remaining 92 soldiers will return home on Tuesday.
