The New York Times reported on 23 June 2021 that "Dozens Killed in Market Airstrike in Ethiopia, Officials Say" by Simon Marks and Abdi Latif Dahir.
The report said that an airstrike on a market in Togoga, a town about 15 miles west of Mekelle, capital of Tigray Region, on 23 June killed at least 80 civilians. The incident comes on the heals of apparent increased military activity in Tigray Region.
The report raises the question why the Air Force is needed to hit a town 15 miles from the regional capital city, which is under the control of Ethiopian government forces.
