Mysterious aircraft dropped bombs near a base for Russia's Wagner Group mercenaries fighting in Cent
A mysterious aircraft that flew from an unknown destination dropped bombs this week near a base housing Russia-linked Wagner Group mercenaries in the Central African Republic, who responded with bursts of weapons fire that scared local residents.
The attack occurred Monday morning local time at a base in Bossangoa, which is a town located in the middle of the country, nearly 200 miles north of the capital city Bangui, according to multiple reports. It was not immediately known where the aircraft came from, or from which entity it may belong to, nor was it clear how many casualties the group suffered.
"The Russian paramilitaries showed their indignation very early by shooting in the air from 5 to 6 o'clock. For the moment the city is quiet, the shops are not yet open and people are afraid to go about their business," Robert Faradanga, a local journalist, told the Associated Press. Witnesses told the outlet that the base and surrounding homes were hit in the attack.
"This despicable act perpetrated by the enemies of peace will not go unpunished," Information Minister Serge Ghislain Djorie said in a statement, according to the AP. Agence France-Presse reported that the incident only caused material damage.

Too bad the bombers weren't more accurate.
