What happened
During the early stages of flight, immediately following departure from the runway, the aircraft experienced a sudden failure of one of its engines. This mechanical malfunction occurred while the plane was still in its initial climb phase.
In response to the loss of power, the crew attempted to manage the emergency; however, the actions taken during this critical period were deemed improper for the situation. These errors in procedure led to a loss of control, ultimately resulting in the aircraft crashing at the scene.

Inappropriate crew response to the engine malfunction contributed to the accident.
At this time, the status of the occupants remains unconfirmed, with no known fatalities or injuries reported due to the lack of information regarding the fate of those on board.
