There have been conflicting reports over who has the upper hand, although both side claim victory in today's fighting in Las Anod town but some reliable sources indicate that Puanland troops have retreated from their positions while Somaliland forces have advanced further into the town.

The tensions over the disputed border town have been running very high for the past months.

Anti- demo Somaliland takes place in Garowe town.

Angry demonstrators have staged a rally in Garowe, the capital of the Semi- Autonomous region of Puntland against the seizure of Las Anod town by Somaliland troops after bitter fighting with Puntland which lasted several hours but later Puntland troops defeated.

The demonstrators were chanting slogans that encourage Puntland administrations to engage war with Somaliland after Somaliland forces reported top have defeated forces from Puntalnd.

Eyewitnesses say, the demonstrators were throwing stones at business places and at the same time chanting catchphrases against Somaliland.

Puntland head returns home.

Puntland president, General Adde Muse has returned to Garowe town after hearing that his men defeated in Today's fighting by Somaliland troops.

General Adde has been in neighboring Djibouti for two days after he had returned from Ethiopia having talks with Ethiopian officials.

According to sources close to the president, the president has cut his visit to Djibouti for military purpose against Somaliland.
