An Indian Air Force Sukhoi fighter jet has gone missing in Assam, prompting an urgent search operation by defence authorities. The aircraft reportedly disappeared from radar on Thursday evening while flying over Karbi Anglong district.

According to officials, the Sukhoi MKI 30 fighter jet lost contact with radar systems around 7 pm. The sudden disappearance triggered an immediate response from defence teams who began efforts to trace the aircraft.

The Defence Public Relations Office in Guwahati confirmed that search operations have been launched to locate the missing fighter jet. Rescue teams and security personnel are currently working to gather more information about the incident.

Some local reports suggest that the aircraft might have crashed in the area. Residents in nearby locations reportedly heard a loud explosion around the same time the jet went missing.

However, authorities have not yet officially confirmed whether the fighter jet crashed. The Indian Air Force and the Ministry of Defence are continuing to verify the details surrounding the incident.

Search and rescue teams have been deployed to the suspected location to find the aircraft and check for any signs of wreckage. Officials are also working with local authorities to gather information from residents who may have witnessed the incident.

The Sukhoi MKI 30 is one of the key fighter aircraft used by the Indian Air Force for defence operations. The disappearance of the jet has raised concern as investigators work to determine what exactly happened during the flight.

Defence officials said further details will be released once the ongoing search and investigation provide clearer information about the missing fighter jet.
