A Myanmar military plane—carrying 14 people—recently slid off the runway at Lengpui Airport in Mizoram on Tuesday. The incident took place during a mission to evacuate Myanmar army personnel who had sought refuge in the northeastern Indian state after intense battles with rebel groups in their home country. The Lengpui Airport's tabletop runway is known for its challenging nature, which contributed to the aircraft skidding off the runway and splitting in half.
