The helicopter from the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) was carrying eight personnel when it crashed during landing, SONNA said on its X account, adding that the fire had been contained.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear whether there were casualties. An AUSSOM spokesperson could not be immediately reached for comment.<\/p>\n

“We heard the blast and saw smoke and flames over a helicopter,” Farah Abdulle, who works at the airport, told Reuters. “The smoke entirely covered the helicopter.”<\/p>\n
