Summary
A drone strike on a displacement camp in Sheraro, western Tigray, Ethiopia, killed at least eight people, including a child, and seriously wounded at least six others, according to local officials and humanitarian sources. The attack occurred early on October 4, 2026, targeting the Adi Abay section of the camp during ongoing conflict between federal forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front, which began on September 23. No group has claimed responsibility, and the Ethiopian federal government has not commented on the incident. Verification has been difficult due to media restrictions and communication disruptions in the region.
