Ethiopia Launches Air Strikes In Northern And Western Tigray

Ethiopia’s military launched two airstrikes on what a government official said were rebel-held facilities in Tigray, capping a week of near-daily attacks in the war-torn northern region.<br />The strikes signalled the military was potentially widening its campaign of aerial bombardments which has drawn international rebukes and disrupted UN flights to the famine-threatened territory.<br />Government spokeswoman Selamawit Kassa says the same mission destroyed a separate facility in the northern town of Adwa used to manufacture military equipment as well as fake military uniforms used by TPLF combatants.<br />TPLF spokesman Getachew Reda says that the target in Mai Tsebri was a hospital and that the target in Adwa was a textiles factory that was looted in an earlier stage of the conflict by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers.
