Zaila (SL Times) - Explosions were heard on Sunday at Somaliland's island of Eibaat, about 10 km north west of Zaila.

The explosions were caused by an air strike carried out by US warplanes, sources in Zaila said.

However there was some confusion as to the real identity of the military aircrafts that carried out the bombing.

Military forces belonging to France and the US-led coalition against terrorism have troops stationed in nearby Djibouti.

Eibaat is located in an area declared s a marine protected zone. The area has a unique eco-system with a diversity of species and an outstandingly beautiful marine environment including one of the most admirable coral formations in the world.
