All 10 passengers of a small plane operated by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) were killed in a crash on Tuesday morning, local media reported.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to local NDTV broadcaster, the incident with a plane bound to Ranchi happened soon after take-off near the Delhi airport at 9:50 a.m. local time (04:20 GMT).

The plane, carrying 10 people, reportedly hit a wall trying to return to the runway due to technical problems.
