Local medias report that three small boats belonging to the British Navy dispatched by their mother ship and moving towards Laas-Qoray were shot at by the locally stationed Military Forces of Puntland (Darawish) (1998-).The approach by the British forces was reportedly made after receiving a misinformation from some Somaliland officials that the area was under the control of Somaliland and that their permission was sufficient for a visit. Laas-Qoray is administered by a clan-based administration with close links to Puntland. |
