The President of Ethiopia’s Tigray region Debretsion Gebremichael confirmed on Sunday that his forces bombed the airport in Eritrea’s capital Asmara on Saturday evening, according to Reuters.
He also added that his forces have been fighting Eritrean forces “on several fronts” for the past few days.
Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed launched a military offensive in the restive Tigray northern region on Nov.4. Eritrea’s government has denied involvement in the conflict.
It is worth mentioning that, five regional diplomats said that at least three missiles were fired at the Eritrean capital from Ethiopia on Saturday evening, in a major escalation of the conflict that began 11 days ago between Ethiopian federal forces and local forces in the northern Tigray region.
Three diplomats said at least two rockets hit Asmara airport.
