UN-Chartered Russian Helicopter under Fire in Somalia, No Casualties Reported

TEHRAN (FNA)- A Russian helicopter chartered by the United Nations on Sunday came under fire in Somalia, hurting no one.

“Engineers examining a Mil Mi-8 helicopter after a flight found a hole, which was presumably made by a 10-15 mm round, in the main rotor. Most probably, the bullet passed clear and none of the crewmembers was hurt,” Interfax reported.

“The helicopter flew from Mogadishu to Ceelbuur, Buloburde and Beledweyne on contract with the UN,” the report said.
