Air raid hits Ethiopia Tigray region
An air raid has hit a neighbourhood near a hospital in the capital of Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region.
Aljazeera on Wednesday reports Kibrom Gebreselassie, chief executive of Ayder Referral Hospital, as saying that an area near Mekelle General Hospital was hit by the raid.
Getachew Reda, the spokesman for the Tigray regional government also said that at least three bombs had been dropped and that the Mekelle hospital was among the targets.
Another doctor at Ayder confirmed to Reuters he had heard three explosions.
The latest strike follows a hit on a children’s playground area on Friday that killed seven people, including women and children.
The Ethiopian conflict has displaced millions of people, pushed many into famine and killed thousands of civilians.
Tigray has been without banking and telephone services since the federal military pulled out at the end of June.
