Explosions were heard overnight in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, near the headquarters of the country's armed forces, according to a report by France 24.
The origin of the explosions remains unknown, the report said, and comes as fighting has resumed in northern Ethiopia between the federal army and Tigrayan fighters.
France 24's report did not provide further detail on casualties, damage, or an official response from Ethiopian authorities regarding the explosions.
Ethiopia has experienced periodic renewed clashes between federal forces and Tigrayan combatants since a 2022 peace agreement aimed at ending the broader Tigray conflict.
