ADDIS ABABA, Nov.15 (Xinhua) – Rockets from Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region hit the capital of neighboring Eritrea on Saturday night, diplomats said, as tensions escalated between the Ethiopian federal government and local forces in the region. of Tigray.
At least two of the rockets appeared to have hit areas near the airport in the south of the capital Asmara, diplomats said.
The rocket attack on Eritrea came after the local force, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), denounced rocket attacks on two Ethiopian airports earlier that day.
Since the early morning of November 4, the Ethiopian government has launched military operations against the TPLF.
Growing disputes between the federal government and the TPLF were exacerbated in September this year, when the Tigray regional government decided to go ahead with its planned regional elections, which the Ethiopian parliament had previously postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. .
