The UN Mission stated: "A United Nations aircraft in Somalia today executed a successful emergency landing in Mogadishu after detecting a landing gear malfunction.
Operated by the UN Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS), the aircraft was en route from Mogadishu to Baidoa on its regular flight when the crew identified a fault that prevented the landing wheels from deploying correctly. The pilots promptly diverted the aircraft back to Aden Adde International Airport in the capital to address the issue safely. Aside from one passenger reported to be slightly injured during evacuation of the aircraft, all remaining passengers and crew were unharmed."
Favori reported the aircraft was taking UN personell to Baidoa, but experienced landing gear issues prompting the crew to return to Mogadishu.
Somalia Authorities reported there were no injuries, the aircraft had suffered technical issues causing the nose landing gear to fail.
