Rockets were fired at Eritrea’s capital as the deadly fighting in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region appeared to spill across an international border.

At least three rockets appeared to be aimed at the airport in Eritrea’s capital, Asmara, hours after the Tigray regional government warned it might attack.
