An Ethiopian army drone has bombed protesters, killing dozens of people.
The privately owned Ethiopian Media Services reports that at least 70 people were killed.
However, BBC Amharic estimates that figure is lower. Hospital sources who spoke to the BBC said at least 26 people were killed and more than 70 were injured by the air strike on Sunday.
Air strikes reportedly hit the demonstrators, who had gathered in the town of Finote Selam in protest against plans by federal forces to enter the area.
The BBC has not been able to verify the claims and there’s been no comment yet from the government in Addis Ababa.
The army and a militia group, called Fano, have been involved in heavy clashes across the Amhara region in recent weeks.
The militia had refused to disarm, prompting the federal government to deploy the army.
