Ethiopian air raids target the capital of the Tigray region.
The Ethiopian federal government forces launched an air raid today on Mekelle, the capital of Ethiopia’s Tigray region. However, no casualties were reported.
A source from Mekelle reported to Reuters that the air raid was in 05 Kebelle, an area near a cement factory on the city's outskirts.
In addition, the AFP news agency quoted a Mekelle resident as saying that the air raid destroyed an industrial site.
“It was heavy, and the jet was so close,” the resident said, adding that “It has burned the whole compound. We don’t know the casualties, but now the whole company is burned to ash.”
On Monday, an attack was confirmed in Mekelle, and a witness reported that three children were killed.
The state media confirmed that the air force had struck the targets of the region's ruling party Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF).
