A Bangladesh Air Force training aircraft tragically crashed into a school campus in Dhaka on Monday, July 21, 2025, killing at least 19 people, including the pilot, and injuring over 100 others. The Chinese-made F-7 BGI jet went down shortly after takeoff, striking Milestone School and College in the Uttara neighborhood during school hours.
The incident sparked a desperate scene as rescuers and local residents rushed to transport the wounded, many of whom were students, to hospitals. The crash site immediately caught fire, and the cause remains under urgent investigation.
Bangladesh’s interim leader, Muhammad Yunus, has expressed profound sorrow over the “heartbreaking accident” and pledged a thorough investigation into the crash. He described the “irreparable” loss as a moment of deep national grief, acknowledging the impact on Air Force personnel, students, parents, and school staff.
