Drone strikes hit Ethiopia's Tigray region after ceasefire offer -local authorities

One person was injured in drone strikes on Mekelle University and a TV station in Ethiopia's Tigray region, the station and a hospital official said, after Tigrayan forces voiced readiness for another ceasefire with the federal government.

One of the two strikes on Tuesday hit the business campus of Mekelle University while the other hit Dimitsi Woyane TV station that is run by the regional government, said Kibrom Gebreselassie, chief executive officer at Ayder Referral Hospital. He cited a witness who arrived with a man wounded in the strike.

The second drone knocked the TV station off the air, Dimitsi Woyane said in a statement posted on Facebook. Images shared by the station appeared to show damaged transmission equipment on the building's roof.
