Again an airstrike by the Ethiopian Air Force has hit Mekelle. This airstrike hit agricultural land next to the Mekelle University Arid Campus (13.479489, 39.488817) at around 13.475833, 39.492222. As a result of the strike, a UN plane aborted its landing.

According to Reuters the government says that they targeted a “base formerly belonging to the Ethiopian military and now being used by rebellious Tigrayan forces as a training site in the regional capital Mekelle.” Which is… not true.

The Northern Command HQ is ~1KM away at 13.483354, 39.507978 and may have been the target, which would meld with the government’s claim. Though if it was, that demonstrates absolutely horrendous accuracy.
Good pic for reference on where this bundle burnt down. Building in the background is at 13.479489, 39.488817.
