Ethiopia's Tigray crisis: PM claims capture of regional capital Mekelle - BBC News

Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed says government forces are now "fully in control" of Mekelle, the capital of the northern Tigray region.

He said the army had entered the city in the "last phase" of the conflict with the Tigray People's Liberation Front - but details are hard to confirm as there is a communications blackout.

The TPLF leader vowed to "fight... to the last" in a statement to Reuters.

Hundreds have reportedly been killed in the conflict and thousands displaced.
