A cargo plane veered off a runway and onto grass while landing in Somalia on Saturday, but it was not immediately clear if there were any casualties, state TV and a journalist said.
The incident occured at Jowhar airport in the southern state of Hirshabelle, Somali National Television said on X, citing airport director Mukhtar Abukar.
The official told state media that the crew was safely removed from the plane.
Voice of America journalist Harun Maruf said the plane was carrying unspecified supplies for African Union-backed peacekeeping troops that mainly come from Kenya, Djibouti, Burundi, Uganda and Ethiopia.
It was unclear what caused the incident, Maruf said, posting an amateur video purporting to show the aftermath of the incident on X, with a military vehicle seen approaching a plane off a runway.
Maruf said the C-130 plane had departed from Entebbe, Uganda, and was attempting to land on an unpaved runway.
Jowhar is located about 90 kilometres (56 miles) north of the Somali capital Mogadishu.
The African Union mission in Somalia has not commented on the incident.
Plane accidents are not uncommon in the east African nation.
In January, a cargo plane contracted by the UN’s World Food Program crashed while landing on an airstrip in South West State, killing one person and injuring two others.
A week earlier, a UN helicopter made an emergency landing in an area controlled by the Al Shabaab militant group in the central Galmudug State.
