SEAToday.com, Guwahati-Twelve passengers were injured after a Myanmar military plane overshot a runway while landing at Lengpui Airport, Guwahati, India.

Myanmar military plane was sent over to India to collect soldiers who had fled when fighting the insurgents for the Myanmar junta.

Local news aired footage of the crash's aftermath, where the aircraft had slid down an embankment, revealing the bent body of the transport plane, in Lengpui Airport.
