Tigray and Ethiopia resume military conflict after peace agreement breakdown

Fighters from Ethiopia's Tigray region have seized three airports and clashed with federal troops, breaking a peace deal that ended a civil war in 2022.

The Tigray forces say they are defending themselves because the federal government launched an invasion. Ethiopia's government disagrees. It says Tigray fighters attacked neighbouring regions first.

Reports suggest drone strikes hit parts of Tigray, but this has not been independently confirmed.
