ADDIS ABABA, Nov 29 (Reuters) – Ethiopian state television (ETV) said on Sunday that 70 graves, some individual and others massive, were found in the city of Humera in the restless Tigray region, a day after the government said its military operations. they were full there.

An ETV newsreader announced the news as broadcast footage showed officials in military uniforms walking through a field in what the broadcaster said was the city of Humera. The newsreader did not say who may have killed the people buried in the graves.

There were no immediate comments from the government or the Ethiopian army.

Claims from all parties have been difficult to verify as telephone and internet links to Tigray have been disrupted and access has been strictly controlled since fighting broke out on November 4 between Ethiopian troops and rebel forces in Tigray.
