Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: The International Rescue Committee said Saturday (Sunday in Manila) one of its aid workers was among three civilians killed in an attack in Tigray where Ethiopian and Eritrean forces have launched an offensive.

The attack occurred in Shire, a city in northwest Tigray, that has been bombarded for several days in a joint push against rebels from the war-torn region, humanitarian and diplomatic sources say.
