A United Nations-registered aircraft travelling to Baidoa, Somalia, was forced to make an emergency landing at the Adan Adde International Airport in Mogadishu on Tuesday after its front wheels failed to deploy.

Authorities said that a “small fire” was put out after the aircraft crash-landed at the airport, but no injuries were reported among the 22 people on board in the incident that occurred around 2pm local time.
