Fox News
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.
"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." Most of the patients taken to regional hospitals weren’t critical, he said: "The critical patients were already dead." Like others, he spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. A military spokesman, Col. Getnet Adane, told journalists that fighters supporting the Tigray region’s former leaders had assembled to celebrate Martyrs’ Day when the airstrike occurred.More Related News
