Witnesses: Ethiopia Bombs Tigray Capital as Fighting Continues

VOA News

   Witnesses in Ethiopia report that the country's air force bombed the
   capital of the northern Tigray region Monday, as the United Nations
   says the growing conflict has forced more than 25,300 refugees to flee
   into neighboring Sudan.

   Residents in Mekele told VOA that the bombing demolished homes and
   partially damaged student dormitories at St. George's Church Felege
   Hiwot school.

   Debretsion Gebremichael, leader of the Tigray People's Liberation Front
   (TPLF), told the Reuters news agency that at least two civilians had
   been killed Monday and a number of others wounded. There was no
   independent confirmation of the claims.
