A Myanmar military plane, which was moving from Tounggoo air base to Nay Pyi Taw to prepare for group training flight, had
crashed at Nay Pyi Taw International Airport, an official report confirmed Tuesday.
The aircraft ran out of the runway when landing due to technical failure Monday noon, the report said, according to China's Xinhua news agency.
A drag parachute, that controls the speed, was broken, making the plane run out of the runway and hitting some three lamp-poles to stop.
There were no casualties, but some wheels, fuel tank and the front part of the plane were destroyed, the report added.
