Ethiopia and Tigray accuse each of launching offensives, fuelling fears of new war
The local authorities reportedly seize Tigray's airports following reports of recent drone strikes.
Ethiopia's government and the party in control of the northern region of Tigray have accused each other of launching offensives, escalating fears of a return to full-scale conflict.
Getachew Reda, a cabinet minister and adviser to Ethiopia's prime minister, said Tigrayan fighters had taken control of federally administered airports in Tigray and launched offensives in neighbouring Afar and Amhara regions.
Earlier, the Tigrayan authorities said their forces had been forced to enter a "defensive war". The statement followed reports of drone strikes in Tigray.
Mogos said all those killed and injured were civilians, accusing federal forces of targeting two secondary schools.
