Airstrikes and artillery fire shook the Tigray region in northern Ethiopia during the night from Sunday to Monday, according to humanitarian sources reported by France 24.

These clashes pit federal government forces against rebels and have raised concerns about a possible expansion of the conflict. The Ethiopian government is advancing into Tigray territory, fueling fears that the situation could spiral out of control, says France 24 journalist Philip Turle.
