New Facts: TPLF Accuses Ethiopian Army of Drone Strikes

Tigrayan officials said Ethiopian military drones struck Merewa in southern Tigray, hitting Merewa Secondary School in Raya Alamata near the Amhara border. They said the school was on a holiday break and Tigrayan fighters were stationed there. The building was damaged.

The toll is disputed. Tigrayan forces reported three fighters killed and seven wounded, and a hospital in Alamata treated four wounded fighters, two after surgery. District governor Daniel Tamrat said one civilian was killed and four others wounded, and that a nearby river where people fetch water was also hit. The strike followed ground fighting on 1 August in northwestern Tigray.
