On Friday evening, Somalia’s Presidential forces reportedly shot down one of two drones observed hovering over the State House in Mogadishu, the capital.
Security sources informed local media that no explosives were found in the intercepted drone, leading investigators to consider the possibility that it was intended for surveillance or information gathering rather than an attack.
The incident highlights ongoing security concerns in the region, particularly around sensitive government installations.
Further details about the origin or purpose of the drones have not yet been disclosed.
