ADDIS ABBA (Reuters) -An air strike in Ethiopia's northern region of Tigray on Monday killed at least 17 people, mostly women, and wounded dozens in the town of Mai Tsebri, two aid workers told Reuters, citing local authorities and eyewitnesses.

This followed an air strike that killed 56 people and injured 30, including children, in a camp for displaced people in Tigray on Friday. U.S. President Joe Biden raised concerns with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Monday about civilian casualties and suffering caused by air strikes.
