There are no flights taking off from Somalia's Mogadishu airport due to an ongoing gun attack near its gate, a travel agent said on Wednesday.

"There is no taking off for flights for it is risky due to exchange of gunfire. Landing is possible," Mohamed Ahmed, a staff member of Tawakal Travel Agency, told Reuters.
