Drone strike on Tigray displacement camp kills at least eight, AFP reports

A drone strike hit a displacement camp in Tigray region on Sunday, killing at least eight people, including a child, AFP reported, citing a humanitarian source.

The source told AFP that six other people were seriously wounded in the strike, which targeted a centre for displaced people. A witness said a mother, her four children and a grandson were among those killed.

“The entire family was wiped out,” the witness told AFP.

The witness also said three other people were killed in the attack, potentially putting the death toll at 11, although AFP cited the humanitarian source’s figure of eight fatalities. The strike hit the Adi Abay displacement camp, located near the Eritrean border and more than 150 kilometres northwest of Tigray’s regional capital, Mekele.
