Ethiopian forces hit the Tigrayan capital of Mekele with airstrikes on Monday, humanitarian officials and diplomats told AFP, in a new phase of the nearly year-long war in the country's north.
They are the first reported air raids in Mekele since the conflict erupted in November last year, although there have been others in the Tigray region.
