** At least 16 people, predominantly students, died after a Bangladesh Air Force training aircraft crashed into a school campus in the capital Dhaka, government officials confirmed. Over 100 others sustained injuries, with at least 83 hospitalized across multiple facilities, according to the office of interim leader Muhammad Yunus.
The Chinese-made F-7 BJI jet departed at 13:06 local time (07:06 GMT) and crashed moments later at Milestone School and College. Prime Minister Yunus expressed “profound sorrow and regret” in a social media statement, calling the loss suffered by the Air Force, students, parents, teachers, and staff “irreparable.” He declared the incident “a moment of deep grief for the nation.”
