Somalia: Planes flying low level seen in central town
MOGADISHU (Mareeg)—Planes flying with low level have been seen over Baldweyne town 340 km north of the Somali capital Mogadishu overnight, witnesses said on Friday.
Residents say they could hear load sound coming from the planes which were repeatedly flying over the city. It is not known the motive behind the planes and which country they belonged to.
Residents expressed concern about the planes which were flying over the city. Hizbul Islam militants control the town after they wrestled the control of the town with its rival Ahlu Sunna walajama’a group.
Residents in Kismayo 500 south of Mogadishu said they saw planes flying over the town. The Somali government said it was planning a major offensive against the Islamist rebels and the United States said it would support the operation with airstrikes.
So far, there is no word from al Shabaab militants in the town. The militants claimed before now they shot down an American drown near Kismayo.
