At least 25 children were among the 27 dead pulled from scorched buildings after a Bangladesh Air Force jet on a training mission crashed into a college and school campus in Dhaka, officials said on Tuesday, with 88 people being treated in hospital, Reuters reported.

The F-7 BGI aircraft crashed soon after it took off at 1:06 p.m. (0706 GMT) on Monday from the airbase in Kurmitola in the capital on a routine training mission. The military said the plane experienced a mechanical failure.

Visuals showed rescue workers scouring the charred buildings for debris as distressed family members surrounded the site.

Sayedur Rahman, special assistant to the chief adviser on health, told reporters that 27 people had died and 88 were admitted to hospital with burn injuries. Those dead included 25 children, a teacher and the pilot, according to Reuters.

US Senator Lindsey Graham says President Donald Trump plans to impose 100 percent tariffs on countries buying Russian oil—specifically India, China, and Brazil—to cut off funding for Moscow’s war in Ukraine, according to Firstpost.

The Pentagon has withdrawn 700 US Marines from Los Angeles, concluding a controversial deployment ordered by President Donald Trump in response to protests over federal immigration raids.

The move followed criticism from California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who opposed the presence of troops on city streets. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also approved the recent drawdown of 2,000 National Guard troops, according to Firstpost.

Mayor Bass welcomed the withdrawal, calling it a step toward restoring local control. This marked the first federal troop deployment to a state without the governor’s consent since 1965.

The World Health Organization has accused Israeli forces of striking its main warehouse and staff residence in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, severely disrupting its operations, Firstpost reported.

Airstrikes caused major damage and forced staff and families to flee. WHO said male staff were detained and interrogated, with one still in custody. Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus has called for the staffer’s release and urged protection for humanitarian workers.

The strikes coincided with Israeli tank advances into southern and eastern Deir al-Balah, where shelling reportedly killed at least three people and injured others, according to Firstpost.
