The cause of the incident is being investigated, and no initial reports have been released. All the passengers were accommodated on another flight. Probably, poor taxi lane markings, not following the instructions, fatigue, etc., might be the possible reasons behind this incident.

No injuries were reported, but the aircraft’s left wing sustained significant damage. This Boeing 737 will probably be grounded for multiple weeks, depending on how much it is prioritized.
