A series of suicidal bombing attacks hit Hargeisa, the capital area of Somaliland, a reasonably secure northern semi-State loosely considered part of Somalia, and also hit inside Puntland territory in the east.
The targets were State government buildings, security service offices and a UNDP facility.
Investigations are underway. No claims of perpetration have been made public as of now.
*Here* is Reuters version of the report, containing more details as to the targets.
Shabelle Media Network out of Mogadishu reports as well, and claims the Ethiopian Embassy (sic) in Hargeisa was a prime target.

Bill Roggio has his take on this over at The Long War Journal and offers the correction that Ethiopia's representation in Somaliland is considered a Consulate, not an Embassy. Good point, as no seperate recognition of Somaliland is on the books.
