At Least 64 Dead In Tigray Airstrike

The airstrike wounded more than 100 people, half of them seriously, a regional health official said.

Ethiopia’s military on Thursday said it was responsible for a deadly airstrike on a busy marketplace in the country’s Tigray region. Health workers said the attack killed at least 64 people, including children, but the military insisted only combatants were targeted. A doctor who managed to reach the market in Togoga village after Ethiopian soldiers blocked medical teams from responding to Tuesday's attack described a “horrible” scene of badly wounded people lying on the ground, crying in pain with no medical care. “It was very traumatizing,” he told The Associated Press. “I think most of the patients, they died because we were late there, because care wasn’t available.”
