War planes strike suspected Somali pirate base: coastguard

„Unknown military jets fired several missiles near the village of Gumah, elders told us at least two civilians were injured,“ said Mohamed Abdirahman, a coastguard.

Witnesses said the aircraft struck the north-eastern coastal village, which lies some 220 kilometres (140 miles) east of Bossaso, the main port of Somalia‘s breakaway Puntland state.
