Civilians killed from shelling by Ethiopian and Tigrayan forces and executions by Ethiopian soldiers.
Local officials and residents told AFP that 27 civilians died: 21 from shelling and six in extrajudicial killings. They rounded up civilians and separated the men from the women and children, executing the men. An investigation by EHRC put the number of civilians killed at 31 (including the village Ullaga). It says most civilians died in the crossfire, while some were killed by Ethiopian soldiers after being accused of being TPLF fighters. The Ethiopian government denied the allegations.
