Air raids hit capital of Ethiopia’s Tigray: Regional media

Government spokesman denies reports of air raids as TPLF-controlled Tigrai TV says several wounded in Mekelle.

Several civilians have been wounded in air raids on Mekelle, the capital of northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region, according to television controlled by regional authorities as the government rejected the reports.

They are the first reported air raids in Mekelle since the conflict erupted last year, although there have been others in the Tigray region.

Tigrai TV said the attack on the city of Mekelle was carried out by “Abiy Ahmed”, referring to Ethiopia’s prime minister and the government forces he leads.
