The drone attack hit the town of Dengolat, 30 kilometres from Mekelle, the capital of Tigray, Kibrom Gebreselassie, director of the hospital that received the victims, said on Twitter.At least 50 people were killed on Tuesday in an air strike that hit a school in Tigray that was sheltering people displaced by the conflict, aid workers and Tigrayan forces said.

The return to combat shattered a March truce and dashed hopes of peacefully resolving the war, which has triggered a humanitarian crisis in northern Ethiopia. Both sides have accused the other of firing first. Fighting has spread from southern Tigray to other fronts farther north and west, while drawing in Eritrean troops who backed government forces in the early phase of the war.
