The death toll from the crash of a Bangladesh Air Force training jet into a school in Dhaka has risen to 31, most of whom are pupils, officials said on Tuesday. The Chinese-made F-7BGI fighter jet crashed into the two-storey Milestone School and College in the north of the capital on Monday.

Muhammad Yunus, head of the interim government in Bangladesh, expressed his "deep sorrow and grief" after an air force jet crashed into a campus in Dhaka.

The F-7 BGI is a fighter jet that China specially made for Bangladesh. It replaced the older models in the Bangladesh Air Force, like the F-7M and F-7MB. Apart from Bangladesh, other countries such as Myanmar, Nigeria, Iran, Egypt, Zambia, and Sudan also use this aircraft.
