[REGNUM] Representatives of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (NPLF) shot down a C-130 Hercules aircraft of the Ethiopian Armed Forces. This is reported by the publication Air Live.

The incident took place on June 23 in Tigray province. The downed liner belonged to the 15th squadron located at the Debre-Zeit air base. The plane was carrying ammunition and explosives.

Tigray People's Liberation fighters claimed responsibility for the downed plane that was provided to the Ethiopian Air Force by the United States in 2014.

Recall that the NPT is a rebel group fighting against the government of Ethiopia, the conflict erupted in November 2020, after the militants attacked a military base of the country's air force.
