Ethiopian forces have taken measures against the forces that are believed to be trained and supported by Eritrea, Assefa Abiyu of the Ethiopian Federal Police Commission told the state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporation. He added that a number of them have been arrested.
He did not say when the killings took place and the nationalities of the victims remained unclear.
"The forces tried to enter into Ethiopia from the western part of the Tigray Region. We have managed to control their movement and attack them without letting a single one of them escape," Abiyu said.
