The capital of the northern Ethiopian region of Tigray was hit by an air strike around midnight Tuesday, Tigray rebels and hospital officials said, the latest such attack reported in just a few days.
The bombings came after a resumption of fighting on the ground between government forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) last week.
