NAIROBI, Kenya—The leader of Ethiopia’s rebellious Tigray region has confirmed firing missiles at neighboring Eritrea’s capital and is threatening more, marking a huge escalation as the deadly fighting in northern Ethiopia between Tigray forces and the federal government spills across an international border.
Tigray regional President Debretsion Gebremichael, in a phone interview on Nov. 15 with The Associated Press, wouldn’t say how many missiles were fired at the city of Asmara on Nov. 14 but said it was the only city in Eritrea that was targeted.
