19 People Reported Killed in Tigray Airstrikes on Same Day Biden Speaks with Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aid workers in Ethiopia say at least 17 people, including women and
children, were killed when a drone bombed a flour mill in the Tigray
region on Monday. A separate attack killing two people was also
reported. The attacks came on the same day President Biden spoke by
phone with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. The White House says
Biden raised concerns about civilian casualties in Ethiopia's 14-month
conflict in Tigray that's left thousands of people dead and millions
displaced.
