An Apache helicopter of the Indian Air Force (IAF) made an emergency landing during an operational sortie in Ladakh and it sustained damage due to “undulating” terrain and high altitude, the IAF said on Thursday.
The IAF said the incident took place on Wednesday and both the pilots on board are safe.
It was the first such incident involving an Apache chopper in the IAF, military officials said.
A Court of Inquiry has been ordered into the incident.
