Ethiopia forces accused of deadly attack as Tigray war escalates

Al Jazeera  

Witnesses say a kindergarten in the Tigrayan capital Mekelle was hit by an air strike and four civilians were killed, but the federal government denies the reports. An air raid killed at least four people, including two children, in the capital of Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, the head of a hospital said. The federal government denied the allegations saying the air force only targeted military sites and accused Tigray People’s Liberation Front forces of staging civilian deaths. Ethiopia’s Government Communications Service in a statement said the government will “take action targeting the military forces that are the source of the anti-peace sentiment of the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front”. “The Ethiopian Air Force is clearly reversing the attack launched against Ethiopia by targeting only military sites,” the Government Communication Service said.
