Meanwhile, Amnesty International said Thursday that scores of civilians were killed in a \"massacre\" in the Tigray region, that witnesses blamed on forces backing the local ruling party.
The \"massacre\" is the first reported incident of large-scale civilian fatalities in a week-old conflict between the regional ruling party, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), and the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, winner of last year's Nobel Peace Prize.
\"Amnesty International can today confirm... that scores, and likely hundreds, of people were stabbed or hacked to death in Mai-Kadra (May Cadera) town in the southwest of Ethiopia's Tigray Region on the night of 9 November,\" the rights group said in a report.
Amnesty said it had \"digitally verified gruesome photographs and videos of bodies strewn across the town or being carried away on stretchers.\"
The dead \"had gaping wounds that appear to have been inflicted by sharp weapons such as knives and machetes,\" Amnesty said, citing witness accounts.
Witnesses said the attack was carried out by TPLF-aligned forces after a defeat at the hands of the Ethiopian military, though Amnesty said it \"has not been able to confirm who was responsible for the killings\".
It nonetheless called on TPLF commanders and officials to \"make clear to their forces and their supporters that deliberate attacks on civilians are absolutely prohibited and constitute war crimes\".
Abiy ordered military operations in Tigray on November 4, saying they were prompted by a TPLF attack on federal military camps -- a claim the party denies.
The region has been under a communications blackout ever since, making it difficult to verify competing claims on the ground.
Abiy said Thursday his army had made major gains in western Tigray.
Thousands of Ethiopians have fled across the border into neighboring Sudan, and the UN is sounding the alarm about a humanitarian crisis in Tigray.

WARRIORS striker Tino Kadewere believes the Warriors still stand a chance to win against Algeria if they execute their pressing game well in Monday’s Group H Africa Cup of Nations qualifier return leg following their 3-1 humiliation by the Desert Foxes in Algiers on Thursday. BY HENRY MHARA IN ALGIERS Kadewere was guilty of missing two chances while he scored the consolation in the second half after a change of tactics. The Lyon forward is confident that the team can get a positive result at home but warned that they should not give their opponents too much respect. “I think it was a tough game, we were playing against Africa’s best. But looking at the game, I think we stood our ground. We played well in the second half and we had chances to win the game because we stayed positive and we played as a team and when we changed the system we used in the first half it paid dividends,” he told journalists ahead of the team’s departure from Algiers yesterday. “It wasn’t good in the first half because we respected them too much and they did as they pleased instead of us showing that we are there to fight and win the game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose but I think we had positives especially from our second half performance.” He said the Warriors will need to take the Algerians out of their comfort zone on Monday by pressing high and denying them the space to play from the back. “Football these days is about pressing, if we press together we force them to kick long balls and when the ball is in the air it’s anybody’s. We need to press and we should press together. We have to make sure they will not do as they please.” Zimbabwe now trail Algeria by five points while third-placed Zambia, who play Botswana in Gaborone next, are just a point behind.
