The aircraft had been carrying humanitarian and medical supplies to help the country fight the spread of coronavirus when it went down in Bardale, about 300km (180 miles) northwest of Somalia's capital Mogadishu.
The Ethiopian soldiers mistakenly believed the plane was on a "potential suicide mission" because they had not been informed about the "unusual flight" and the aircraft was flying low, the statement said.
"Because of lack of communication and awareness, the aircraft was shot down," the military said. "The incident โฆ will require mutual collaborative investigation team from Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya to further understand the truth."
Kenya expressed shock over the incident earlier this week, saying the plane's mission had been to aid Somalia in tackling the coronavirus pandemic.
Soldiers from Ethiopia and Kenya are among those deployed to Somalia as part of an AU peacekeeping mission to fight the armed group al-Shabab.
The shooting down of the plane comes amid strained ties between Kenya and Somalia.
Last month, Kenya accused Somali troops of an "unwarranted attack" across its border near Mandera, a northern outpost town, describing the incident as a provocation.
Somalia, meanwhile, has long accused its larger neighbour of meddling in its internal affairs, something Kenya has denied.
What's Riker Laboratories Inc?
Something to do with 3M?

>Riker Laboratories Inc
In the late 1950s, 3M produced the first asthma inhaler, but the company did not enter the pharmaceutical industry per se until the mid-1960s with the acquisition of Riker Laboratories, moving it from California to Minnesota. 3M retained the name Riker Laboratories for the subsidiary until at least 1985. In the mid-1990s, 3M Pharmaceuticals, as the division came to be called, produced the first CFC-free asthma inhaler in response to adoption of the Montreal Protocol by the United States. In the 1980s and 1990s, the company spent fifteen years developing a topical cream delivery technology which led in 1997 to health authority approval and marketing of a symptomatic treatment for genital herpes, Aldara. After four decades, 3M divested its pharmaceutical unit through three deals in 2006, netting more than US$2 billion. At the time, 3M Pharmaceuticals comprised about twenty percent of 3M's health care business and employed just over a thousand people.

Syria intervention plan fueled by oil interests, not chemical weapon concern
According to former French foreign minister Roland Dumas, Britain had planned covert action in Syria as early as 2009: "I was in England two years before the violence in Syria on other business", he told French television:
"I met with top British officials, who confessed to me that they were preparing something in Syria. This was in Britain not in America. Britain was preparing gunmen to invade Syria."
The 2011 uprisings, it would seem - triggered by a confluence of domestic energy shortages and climate-induced droughts which led to massive food price hikes - came at an opportune moment that was quickly exploited. Leaked emails from the private intelligence firm Stratfor including notes from a meeting with Pentagon officials confirmed US-UK training of Syrian opposition forces since 2011 aimed at eliciting "collapse" of Assad's regime "from within."

By October of 1992, however, a curious series of things had happened: When the Circle Repertory Company premiered Kramerโs play, The Destiny of Me, that month at New Yorkโs Lucille Lortel Theater as a benefit for Gay Menโs Health Crisisโanother organization which Kramer foundedโFauci was in the audience.
The first wave of the epidemic, in gay enclaves on both coastsโplaces like Greenwich Village, West Hollywood and San Franciscoโwas heralded by a mix of patient complaints both esoteric and mundane: a rash of otherwise healthy young men coming down with normally rare diseases like Kaposiโs sarcoma and pneumocystis pneumonia, odd yeast infections, suffering inexplicable immunological failures; another group in the same cohort suffered with chronic fevers, night sweats, swollen glands, illnesses sometimes transient, sometimes not, again without good explanations and not responsive to treatment.
โThat began a relationship over many years that allowed me to walk amongst them,โ Fauci says. โIt was really interesting; they let me into their camp. I went to the gay bath houses and spoke to them. I went to San Francisco, to the Castro District, and I discussed the problems they were having, the degree of suffering that was going on in the community, the need for them to get involved in clinical trials, since there were no other possibilities for them to get access to drugs. And I earned their confidence.โ

According to an arrest affidavit, a 39-year-old man was taken to the Nashville Fairgrounds on Monday and placed under quarantine by the Metro Nashville Public Health Department because he tested positive for the coronavirus.
Health officials told the man he could not leave until he was cleared, but on Thursday he jumped a fence and headed north on Nolensville Road, the affidavit states. He was stopped and arrested by Metro Nashville Parks police by a city cemetery nearly two miles from where he had been quarantined.
