Ethiopia's military launched a new air strike on the Tigrayan capital Mekele on Wednesday, the second bombardment this week hitting Tigray People's Liberation Front targets in the city.
The raids mark a sharp escalation in the nearly year-long conflict in northern Ethiopia pitting government forces and their allies against the TPLF, Tigray's once-dominant ruling party.
