Ethiopia: Reported Drone Strike in Maychew Area of Tigray

TORONTO, Canada — The Ethiopian Defense Force reportedly carried out a drone strike in Maychew, South Tigray.

While local reports indicate that injured individuals were rushed to a hospital in the city, the total casualty number remains unspecified.

The strike took place around 11:30 a.m. local time, though the specific neighborhood targeted has not been identified.

The Ethiopian Defense Force has not commented on the latest development, and independent verification is unavailable.
