Eight people were injured as a Myanmar military plane crashed at the Lengpui airport on the outskirts of Aizawl on Tuesday, officials said. The small plane had arrived here to take back the Myanmarese soldiers who crossed over to India last week, following gunfights with an ethnic insurgent group, they said.


There were 14 people on the plane, including the pilot, and eight of them were injured in the accident, which happened around 10.20 am, officials said. While landing, it overshot the tabletop runway of the Mizoram government-run airport and crashed.
