A militia allied with Ethiopia's federal government has claimed the capture of Mekele airport, according to an announcement made on the social network X.
The announcement comes as the Tigray Peace Forces (TPF) have already retaken control of several towns in southern Tigray in recent days.
Mekele airport had been seized on September 23 by the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), at the start of an offensive launched by a new opposition alliance hostile to the federal government.
Information on the airport's current situation could not be independently verified.
