The Ethiopian Air Force bombed arms depots and destroyed military hardware in the northern Tigray region on Friday, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said. In his first remarks since announcing the start of military action on Wednesday, Abiy said the campaign had "clear, limited and achievable objectives." Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, seen on Feb. 3 in Addis Ababa, laid out his justifications for the military campaign on Friday night. Two diplomats and a regional military officer said the claim was credible. Debretsion Gebremichael, Tigray's regional president, says its fighters are well equipped to deal with a military operation from the central government.
