ADDIS ABABA, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Ethiopia's government denied on Monday that it had carried out air strikes against the capital of the northern Tigray region, Mekelle.
"Why would the Ethiopian government attack its own city? Mekelle is an Ethiopian city," said Legesse Tulu, the head of Government Communications Services, responding to a report of air strikes by the region's Tigrai TV. (Reporting by Addis Ababa Newsroom; Editing by Alison Williams)
