The UN children's fund on Saturday condemned an air strike that hit a kindergarten in Ethiopia's rebel-held Tigray region, killing at least four people including two children. "Unicef strongly condemns the air strike [that] hit a kindergarten, killing several children, and injuring others," the UN agency's executive director Catherine Russell said on Twitter. "UNICEF strongly condemns the air strike in Mekelle, the capital city of the Tigray Region, Ethiopia. The strike hit a kindergarten, killing several children, and injuring others." The statement by Tigrayan authorities after Friday’s air strike charged that the federal government was not interested in peace talks.
