Five Indian Air Force personnel were killed when an Antonov An-32 transport aircraft crashed while landing at a base near Jorhat (a city in Assam state, in India's remote northeast) on Saturday. The Russian-made twin-engine turboprop, used extensively by the Indian military to ferry supplies and humanitarian aid across mountainous terrain, was on a routine flight when it came down, with an air force official indicating that the co-pilot survived. A court of inquiry has been opened to determine the cause of the crash, which is the latest in a series of accidents to have struck the Indian Air Force in recent months.
