Five ordinary people have died in Ethiopia’s Amhara region when a drone attack hit an ambulance, according to people who saw it happen and told the media.
Three more people, including a hospital leader, got hurt in the event in Wogel Tena town in north-eastern Amhara.
The attack happened last week, but the local authorities didn’t confirm it until Wednesday because of communication restrictions.
According to witnesses, the person driving the ambulance, a pharmacist, and some construction workers nearby were killed.
The government’s soldiers are using drones to attack local groups, as the fighting that started in April gets worse.
The UN was worried about drones hitting innocent people in Amhara last month.
Many people died in an attack at a school and bus station.
