An air raid has wounded one person in Mekelle, the capital of Ethiopia’s embattled Tigray region.
According to a hospital official, the hit on Tuesday struck the business campus of Mekelle University and Dimitsi Woyane TV station which is run by the regional Tigray government.
Kibrom Gebreselassie, the chief executive officer of Ayder Hospital cited a witness who arrived at the facility with a wounded man, Reuters news agency reported.
There was no immediate comment by Ethiopia’s federal government, which has been fighting Tigray’s regional government since November 2020.
Getachew Reda, the spokesperson for the regional government, said that the business campus had been hit by drones and accused the Ethiopian government of being behind the air raid.
The developments come days after Ethiopia’s Tigray rebels said they were ready to take part in peace talks led by the African Union (AU).
