Dozens of people were reportedly killed in an airstrike on a busy market in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region on Tuesday.

Two doctors and a nurse in Tigray’s regional capital, Mekele, said they were unable to confirm how many people had been killed, but one doctor said health workers at the scene in Togoga had reported “more than 80 civilian deaths”.
