Tigray sources claim that the drone strike was carried out by the Ethiopian military. They allege that the attack targeted a civilian vehicle, resulting in the casualties. The Ethiopian government has not issued a statement regarding the incident at the time of reporting.
The Tigray region has been embroiled in a conflict between regional forces and the Ethiopian military for nearly a year, resulting in a dire humanitarian situation with widespread violence and displacement. Tensions remain high in the area, with both sides accusing each other of committing various human rights abuses.
The Ethiopian government has been conducting military operations in the region in an attempt to quell the insurgency led by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). The TPLF, on the other hand, seeks greater autonomy and political representation for the Tigrayan people.
