Indian Air Force’s AN-32: Crashes In Assam

The AN-32 was landing at the Air Force Station in Jorhat on Saturday morning (June 13, 2026), when it caught fire. According to initial reports, the aircraft went down inside the Air Force Station premises during the landing process. The impact led to a fire, with thick smoke seen rising from the crash site. 

 Something went wrong when the AN-32 was landing at the Air Force Station in the Jorhat, Rowriah area. Emergency teams were immediately deployed to contain the blaze and secure the area. This was a deal, so the people at the base had to act fast to deal with the situation. The people in charge sent teams to put out the fire and make sure everyone was safe.  They do not know yet if anyone was hurt or killed in the AN-32 crash. The Indian Air Force is still looking into what caused the AN-32 to go down. 

 The AN-32 that crashed was a plane used to carry supplies. It went down near an air base in Upper Assam. The pilot of the AN-32 is feared to be dead. It is still unknown why the AN-32 crashed. AN-32 has been in a lot of crashes in India around 22 times since 1986, where a tragic accident also occurred this year. In March this year, a Sukhoi Su-30MKI crashed in Karbi Anglong district, resulting in the deaths of two pilots. Now the same following incident occurred today in Assam. 

Now more details are awaited. The aircraft is still being looked at by the investigators examining the incident area.
