The year-long conflict has already killed untold numbers of people and triggered a deep humanitarian crisis.
ADDIS ABABA - Ethiopia's military launched a new air strike on the Tigrayan capital Mekele on Wednesday, the second round of bombardments this week against rebel targets in the city.
The conflict has already killed untold numbers of people and triggered a deep humanitarian crisis, with the United Nations saying up to two million people have been displaced and hundreds of thousands plunged into famine-like conditions. "Abiy's reaction to his losses in the ongoing fighting is to target civilians hundreds of kms away from the battlefield," he said on Twitter.
Legesse had initially denied those raids but state media later confirmed the air force had hit TPLF media and communications infrastructure.
