Airstrike in Ethiopia's Amhara kills at least 15 civilians, residents sayAn airstrike in Ethiopia's Amhara region killed at least 15 civilians, including children and elderly people, when it hit a truck carrying them to a village this week, residents said.
The strike took place on Monday around 24 km from where Ethiopian troops were fighting militiamen.
Some of the victims were fleeing the clashes, while others were returning home from a baptism ceremony, they said.
The strike on Monday hit a large Isuzu truck carrying several dozen people in Amhara's North Shewa Zone, residents said.
The priest said more than 20 people wounded in the strike were sent to hospital and that he thought the overall death toll was significantly higher.
