- Aircraft: Ilyushin II-76
- Location: Karachi-Muhammad Ali Jinnah-Quaid-e-Azam, Sindh, Pakistan

An Ilyushin Il-76 cargo flight departing Karachi for Khartoum and Douala suffered an uncontained failure of the No. 4 engine's low-pressure compressor shortly after takeoff. Debris ignited fuel in the right wing and the aircraft rolled and crashed within about a minute, killing everyone on board and several people on the ground.
