A True Aviation Antonov AN-26, performing a cargo flight from Coxs Bazar to Jessore (Bangladesh) with 4 crew and a load of shrimps, was climbing out of Coxs Bazar's runway 35 when the right hand engine failed prompting the crew to stop the climb and join a left hand downwind for a return to Coxs Bazar's runway 35. The crew needed to go around however and were about to again join a left hand pattern for runway 35 when the aircraft lost height and impacted the waters of the Bay of Bengal about 2nm from the aerodrome. Two crew were rescued alive, one died after delivery to hospital, the other is in hospital care in critical condition. The bodies of the other two crew members were recovered from the wreckage.
