The second drone knocked the TV station off the air, Dimitsi Woyane said in a statement posted on Facebook (NASDAQ: ). Tigrayan regional government spokesperson Getachew Reda said on Twitter (NYSE: ) that the business campus had been hit by drones. It was third instance of aerial strikes on Mekelle since the nearly two-year-old conflict resumed late last month after a five-month ceasefire. Two Amhara journalists who publicly criticised the federal government were arrested last week, according to a police document seen by Reuters. Amhara journalists, politicians and militia members were among thousands arrested during a regional crackdown in May; some remain in prison.
