- A military transport aircraft crashed in India's northeastern Assam state during what was described as a routine flight, killing at least five people on board
- Rescuers were seen recovering victims from the crash site in the immediate aftermath of the incident on June 13, 2026
Why it matters: At least five people died in a routine military transport operation — not a combat mission — underscoring the baseline risk of peacetime military flights, and recovery at the site is the immediate operational priority while the cause comes under official scrutiny.
