A MiG-21 fighter jet of the Indian Air Force overshot the runway at Srinagar Airport in Kashmir.
“The fighter jet made an emergency landing at the airport after the pilot noticed a technical snag in the plane,” airport sources said. They said fire tenders were rushed to the runaway to ensure that the aircraft did not catch fire.
“The tyres of the jet were badly burnt due to the emergency landing but timely action saved the plane,” they added.
