In Bangladesh's capital Dhaka, a military jet on a routine training mission has crashed into a school taking numerous lives and leaving dozens critically injured. As there are persons still missing, the death toll is likely to rise. The Head of Bangladesh's interim leadership Muhammad Yunus has offered condolences, describing the event as a "tremendous tragedy."
Officials say the aircraft suffered a mechanical failure shortly after takeoff. The pilot reportedly attempted to divert the plane from populated areas but failed. Investigators are still working to determine what caused the mechanical failure.
In the meantime, local outrage is growing. Students gathered near the crash site, demanding clarity, justice, and an overhaul of what they say is outdated and unsafe military aircraft equipment.
