According to Radio Garowe, citing local aviation authorities, the plane requested an emergency landing at night amid poor visibility conditions due to rain. It touched down hard and caught fire after landing.

The airport where it landed is in the vicinity of the Somalian-Kenyan border area where a large Kenyan military base is located.
