A drone strike has hit the public television headquarters of Tigray (a northern Ethiopian region that was the epicentre of a devastating civil war from 2020 to 2022) amid reports of renewed armed clashes in the area. The attack targeted a key media institution in the regional capital Mekelle, raising fears that the fragile peace deal brokered in late 2022 may be unravelling. The strike underscores the continued volatility in Tigray, where tensions between federal forces and regional factions have never fully subsided.
