Rockets from Ethiopia hit Eritrea's capital

Rockets from Ethiopia's conflict-ridden Tigray region struck the capital of neighbouring Eritrea, diplomats said on Sunday. The development on Saturday night came amid increasing tensions between the Ethiopian federal government and local force in Tigray, reports Xinhua news agency. At least two of the rockets appeared to have hit areas near the airport in south of the capital Asmara, the diplomats said. The rockets attack on Eritrea came after the local force, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), claimed rocket attacks on two airports in Ethiopia earlier in the day. (IANS)
