A Ugandan military helicopter crashed and caught fire at Mogadishu's Aden Adde International Airport, injuring three and leaving five unaccounted for. The helicopter, carrying eight people, was part of an African Union force fighting al-Shabab in Somalia. The cause of the crash is under investigation, though initial reports suggest the aircraft went down in the airport's military section after a flight from Balidogle airbase. The incident briefly delayed a Turkish Airlines flight but did not significantly disrupt airport operations.
