Ethiopian drone strikes have targeted Eritrean forces who had reached a northern Tigrayan city, a conflict monitor and witnesses said on Thursday, amid fears that the renewed fighting in the African country might turn into a wider regional war.
The strikes came as the Tigray People's Liberation Front-led seven-group rebel coalition continued to push against federal forces across northern Ethiopia, with fighting reported in Afar and Amhara regions since the coalition announced its offensive last week.
