Witnesses near the compound observed heavy gunfire targeting at least several drones, raising fears of a potential attack  as the Presidential Guard tried to intercept the drones  that hovered ominously above the president’s office.

Security reports suggest that Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has been moved from his usual residence to a more secure undisclosed location for safety.

It remains unclear whether tthe drones were successfully shot down.

There has been no official word from Somali authorities, and investigations are ongoing to determine the drones’ origin and intentions.

This incident follows previous warnings from Somalia’s Civil Aviation Authority about the risks posed by drones, especially in sensitive areas of the capital. Security forces have long been on alert for possible drone attacks by militant groups, have long sought to receive drones and other advanced technology.
