At least 12 civilians killed in drone strike in Rama, Tigray

At least 12 civilians have been killed and several others injured following a drone strike in Rama town, located in Central Tigray. Local sources reported that the attack occurred on the morning of Friday, October 30, targeting civilians who had gathered to collect grain that had spilled from a truck hit by a previous drone strike the night before. The initial strike on the private grain truck took place around 9 p.m. on Thursday, October 29, in the center of Rama.

The situation remains critical for the survivors, as many sustained serious injuries and are currently unable to access hospitals due to a lack of available transportation. This event highlights the ongoing insecurity and the high civilian toll resulting from the conflict in the region. Reports indicate that the victims were gathering sorghum from the damaged truck when the second strike occurred, resulting in immediate fatalities.
