The casspir, being used by the Burundian contingent, lost control due to mechanical failures with the breaks. No civilians were injured during the incident. 

The incident was promptly reported to the Somali Police and AMISOM will rebuild the residential fence. Lt Gen Gutti, AMISOM Force Commander said:
