Fighting resumes between Ethiopian military and Tigray People's Liberation Front
Ethiopia's military reported killing 272 TPLF fighters and wounding 260 more in a counter-offensive in the Amhara region. The TPLF declared a state of "full-blown war" and announced an alliance with six other armed groups, including the Amhara Fano militia. The renewed fighting threatens a 2022 peace deal and has disrupted air travel to Lalibela.
