At least four people died in an airstrike on the capital of Ethiopia’s Tigray province, as the government warned of impending attacks on the military installations of rebellious fighters in the northern region.
Among those killed were two children, Fasika Amdeslasie, a surgeon at the Ayder Referral Hospital in the city of Mekelle, said Friday. An aircraft dropped bombds on a civilian residential area and a kindergarten, according to a statement posted on Twitter by Kindeya Gebrehiwot, a member of the TPLF’s central committee.
