Two air strikes hit the capital of Ethiopia’s Tigray region, killing 10 people, many of them first responders
Since November 2020, tens of thousands are believed to have been killed and millions displaced in the Tigray, Amhara and Afar regions.
The target in Mekele on Wednesday morning “was a residential neighbourhood,” Kibrom Gebreselassie told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The first air strike wounded two people but the second was deadly, with rescuers among those killed, Kibrom said. In a weekend statement to mark Ethiopia’s new year, the Tigray leadership said they were ready to participate in an “immediate” cessation of hostilities with Ethiopian forces leading to a comprehensive ceasefire.But Ethiopia’s federal government is yet to publicly respond amid reports of more talks between the two sides in Djibouti.
