The fighting is taking places roughly 20km from Caabudwaaq airport and about 14 km outside Xeraale, so they could pose a threat to commercial planes.
Planes however can use the other landing strip on the north side of the city or just circle around Caabudwaaq before landing in Balikibir airstrip.
These people are terrorist and would definitely shoot down a plane if they could, they are like a cornered animal lashing out. But they haven't been able to, I think they have probably tried and failed they are just out of reach, and they don't exactly have the free hands to do that type of shit as fighting is happening constantly. We will put an end to these terrorist inshallah soon, no mercy for these type of savages.
