At least 26 people were killed in a suspected airstrike in Ethiopia's Amhara region. A suspected air strike at the weekend in Ethiopia's Amhara region killed at least 26 people, a hospital official said on Monday, as a state-appointed rights group detailed widespread killings of civilians since fighting broke out this month. The suspected strike hit the town centre of Finote Selam on Sunday, said the hospital official, who asked not to be named for security reasons. The hospital official said four people died at the hospital and another 22 either at the scene or on their way to hospital. In Addis Ababa, the capital, there have also been widespread arrests of civilians of ethnic Amhara origin, it said.
