The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Thursday (13 June) confirmed that none of the 13 airmen on board the ill fated AN-32 crash have survived. The IAF gave the update after its personnel reached the crash site in the morning. The families of all the deceased airmen have been informed.
The wreckage was located by an MI-17 helicopter a few days ago around 16 km north of Lipo in Arunachal at an altitude of about 12,000 feet.
The aircraft went missing on 3 June with 13 airmen on board including one Wing Commander, four Flight Lieutenants, one Squadron Leader and seven airmen.
It lost contact after taking off from the Jorhat Air Force base in Assam. It was scheduled to land at the Mechuka Advanced Landing Ground in Arunachal Pradesh, near China border.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
