Explosions were heard overnight in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, as fighting in northern Ethiopia escalates.

A source linked to the opposition alliance fighting federal forces claimed it carried out several drone strikes in the capital, including against military headquarters.

If confirmed, it would be the first known drone attack by anti-government forces on Addis Ababa.

Ethiopia had already banned drone flights over the capital and surrounding areas for security reasons.
