A drone strike hit Tigrai TV's headquarters in Mekelle, Ethiopia's Tigray region, on Sunday, damaging the building as fighting between Tigrayan forces and the federal government intensifies. Tigrayan forces say they have seized airports and advanced into neighbouring Afar and Amhara regions, while the Ethiopian military says it has killed more than 270 TPLF fighters in a counter-offensive. Seven armed groups have joined forces against the government, raising fears of a wider conflict. The strike came amid a communications blackout in Tigray, with internet and phone services severely disrupted since Friday. The disruption has raised concerns of a repeat of the communications shutdown during the 2020–2022 Tigray war, which caused a major humanitarian crisis. Ethiopia has accused Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt of supporting armed groups it is fighting, while Sudan has rejected the allegations and accused Ethiopia of backing its rival RSF. The renewed fighting is also fuelling concerns of wider regional escalation.

Al Jazeera's Malcolm Webb reports from Nairobi.
