Bodies of Kenyan plane crash victims repatriated

The bodies of four people who died in a plane crash in south-western Somalia have been repatriated to Kenya as investigations into the incident continue.

The Kenyan-registered cargo plane, which went down in the town of Bardale on Monday, was carrying medical supplies meant to help in the fight against coronavirus.

There has been speculation that the plane was shot down by Ethiopian forces in Somalia. The authorities say joint investigations between Somalia and Kenya are under way.

Ethiopia - which has thousands of troops operating under African Union mission is Somalia - is yet to respond to the accusations.

A preliminary report on the accident is expected shortly.
