Ethiopia's government, which has been fighting the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) since late 2020, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the airstrikes, fighting, or presence of Eritrean troops.

Wednesday's reported drone strikes in Mekelle followed a TPLF ceasefire offer at the weekend.
