The aircraft, which had departed from BAF Base Bir Uttom AK Khandker at 1:06pm, reportedly suffered a technical failure. 

The pilot ejected but later died from his injuries at the Combined Military Hospital.

The final confirmed death toll reached 36, including 32 students, 3 teachers, and the pilot.
