Ethiopian Airlines resumed flights to the Tigray region on Tuesday, five days after suspending services following clashes between regional and national forces. Eight flights operated between Mekele and Addis Ababa on Tuesday, with additional flights also running between Shire and Addis Ababa, and Axum and Addis Ababa.

Clashes broke out in the disputed area of Tselemt and Alamata last week. On Saturday, one person was killed and another injured in drone strikes in Tigray, police said.
