A Somali police officer was killed after being struck by a moving aircraft propeller shortly after disembarking from a plane at Dhusamareb Airport in central Somalia.
The fatal accident occurred on the tarmac of the airport, where the officer was reportedly walking away from the aircraft when the propeller came into contact with him. Emergency services were called to the scene, but the officer succumbed to his injuries.
Dhusamareb Airport serves the town of Dhusamareb, the capital of the Galguduud region in central Somalia. The airport handles both civilian and occasional security‑related flights, and is a key transport hub for the area.
Local authorities have not released further details about the incident or any investigation into the circumstances surrounding the officer’s death.
