They’re saying this is a boeing 777-200ER. Wiki says it has a range of 8800 miles. As a non-aviator, I have no idea if they always go with full fuel tanks. That distance is at maximum weight. Somalia is about 4000 miles away.

If it is a -200ER, then the max range is 7,725 nautical miles (according to Boeing).
