The Ethiopian army on Thursday denied carrying out deadly airstrikes targeting civilians at a busy market place in Togogo, a town in the Tigray region.
"We haven't carried out air strikes on a market place. How can this be? The army has the capability to hit targets with precision," said Colonel Getnet, a spokesman for the Ethiopian Defense Forces.
