3 MEA aircraft damaged by stray bullets

In the Middle East it is quite normal to fire your rifle or gun into the air to celebrate the new year. But, what goes up, must come down and in this case stray bullets damaged four MEA aircraft parked at Beirut.

According to Lebanese media, three brand new Airbus-aircraft each received one bullet hole, which points to three of their seven new A321-200NXs being damaged. However, as no registrations are currently known, it is guessing which planes exactly were hit.
