UPDATE: Tigray regional state TV is reporting that at 4 AM Ethiopian time (bout 6 hours ago) drones struck two vehicles in two north eastern Tigray towns, killing a driver and injuring another. It's the first civilian casualties in drone strikes in Tigray since the November 2022 ceasefire that ended the Tigray war. There are graphic images I won't share here.

Ethiopia has expanded its drone arsenal considerably since 2022, with the UAE playing a role in delivering armaments and other hardware.

UPDATE: as fighting breaks out in Tigray, and drone strikes are reported...Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, with rumours flying and people panicking in Tigray... orders a photo shoot. State media cameras on him, broadcasting footage as he walks the streets of Jijiga in Eastern Ethiopia, accompanied by the President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of neighbouring Somalia and President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti.

It's as if nothing is happening in the north and all is well.

State media is mental torment.
