Ethiopia airstrikes target Tigray rebels as aerial campaign continues

Government says attacks carried out on training site and military manufacturing facility

Ethiopia has carried out two airstrikes in Tigray as the government intensifies a nearly week-old campaign of aerial bombardment against the rebellious forces who control most of the region.

One strike hit the western area of Mai Tsebri on Sunday, targeting a training site of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), the government spokesperson Legesse Tulu said. The other hit a military manufacturing facility controlled by the TPLF in the northern town of Adwa, the government said in a statement.
