Bangladesh Air Force jet crashes into school.

A Bangladesh Air Force training jet has crashed into a school campus in Dhaka's northern suburb of Uttara, resulting in at least 16 confirmed deaths and over 100 injuries.

The fighter trainer aircraft reportedly crashed into Milestone School and College on Monday afternoon, causing a massive fire and sending thick smoke into the sky.

Emergency crews rushed to the scene to evacuate the injured and contain the blaze, with over 50 victims currently being treated for burn injuries and trauma.

The leader of Bangladesh's interim government, Muhammad Yunus, has ordered a thorough probe and support for those affected.

Meanwhile, authorities have sealed off the area, and military investigators are expected to immediately begin their inquiry into the crash which is believed to be one of the deadliest peacetime military aviation accidents in Bangladesh's recent history.
