Probable cause of the incident:
The flight crew encountered cross wind during flare and did not maintain aircraft heading along the runway centreline. As a result the aircraft drifted from the runway centreline and landed at the aiming point towards the right side on the runway. After landing, the aircraft further drifted towards the right edge of the runway and damaged runway edge lights. Weather was a contributory factor to the incident.
