A spokesman for the breakaway republic of Somaliland says suicide bombers have struck a U.N. compound, the Ethiopian consulate and the presidential palace.
Ismail Adani, Somaliland's government spokesman, says it was not clear how many deaths and injuries resulted from the attacks in Hargeisa on Wednesday. He says, "We are still counting the bodies."
Also Wednesday, suicide bombers attacked two intelligence facilities in the northern Somali region of Puntland.
Muse Gelle Yusuf, governor of Somalia's northern port city of Bossaso, says six security officials were wounded in those attacks. The region is a hotbed of abductions and piracy.
