Fire official Lima Khanam stated by phone that at least one person died and four others were injured, though she did not provide further details.

The jet crashed onto the campus of Milestone School and College in Dhaka's Uttara neighbourhood, where students were taking tests and attending regular classes.

Television footage showed fire and smoke billowing from the crash site.

Jamuna TV reported that at least 13 people, including students, were injured.
