After a record U.S. record, none of theETF goes from boom to bust. The strikes, which occurred just before midnight, struck a school that was turned into an internally displaced people's center in Dedebit town in northwest Tigray, according to two aid workers who asked not to be identified because they are not authorized to comment publicly. A hospital in the town is treating at least 30 injured people, they said.

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government has been at war with rebels from the Tigray People's Liberation Front in a 14 month long conflict that left millions in need of aid. The fighting has swung in Abiy's favor over the past few weeks, with the Tigrayans retreating to within their home province from the neighboring Amhara and Afar regions.

Since October, more than 140 people have been killed in air strikes in northern Ethiopia, according to Bloomberg, diplomats and aid agencies who asked not to be identified for fear of government retribution. They attributed Abiy's recent gains in the conflict to aerial assaults.

A spokesman for the TPLF, Getachew Reda, confirmed the strike by phone, saying it hit a school hosting internally displaced people.

An Ethiopian government spokeswoman didn't respond immediately to questions seeking comment on Saturday.

Bloomberg was unable to independently verify the information, including the number of people who have been killed or injured.
