A light Kenyan aircraft with 6 crew members has been brought down after getting hit with a rocket-propelled grenade in Somalia while landing.

The Embraer 120 plane with tail registration 5Y AXO and belonging to African Express was landing in Bardale town when it was hit with an RPG in what is now believed to be a mistake by Ethiopian forces.

The plane was reportedly brought down by RPG in Bardale town which is controlled by Ethiopian forces. Investigations are continuing though.

Zoom Alia is a no no. And Ethiopia has so much internal problems no wonder they make up the bulk of those dying in boats and refrigerated trucks
 
That crap airline is owned by Somali's anyway don't be fooled by Kenyan owned and get your knickers in a twist.
Wacha wasomali wapigane wenyewe.
geopolitics, in a country like Somalia it keeps changing. Somalia govt does not want to deal with kenyan govt or rather kenya as a whole. Why do you think those mpigs who went to Somalia without informing the govt? This is a clear message from ETH to Kenyans somalis they are not wanted there, probably even kenyan govt does not as well.
 
Ethiopia has long had a military alliance with Kenya and even the few skirmishes at the border are usually local disagreements, not actions sanctioned by Addis or NBO. This was prolly a bad mistake..
 
Not by mistake. They shot thinking it thinking it belonged to Alshabaab? Or what was the aim of taking a plane down.
This is a result of Kenya's failed foreign policy. Ethiopia supports the Mogadishu while Kenya supports fugitive Jubaland Madobe. Ni kama uskie UG troops are in Kenya to support a rebel Miguna to eithr secede or take power.
