Daallo Airlines A321 in-flight fire

I've just been sent to this page from a tweet: ASN Aircraft accident 02-FEB-2016 Airbus A321-111 SX-BHS
An Airbus A321-111 operated by Daallo Airlines as flight D3 159 was involved in an occurrence after takeoff from Mogadishu Airport, Somalia. Two passengers are said to have been injured. Somali media report that locals from Dhiiqaley near Bal'ad town are said to have seen a severely burnt body fallen from a plane.
Photos show the A321 with an apparent hole in the fuselage on the right hand side, just behind the R2 door after it returned to Mogadishu.
This seems like a very weird accident (see pictures! can't recall ever seeing anything like this)

Hoping this hasn't been posted elsewhere in this forum yet. Tried various searches before posting.
