The blasts came hours after drone flights were banned over Addis Ababa and a week after fighting erupted in the north between the army and a newly launched alliance of armed groups including forces from the Tigray region.

It was strong enough to set off car alarms," a resident in a southern area of the city, near the base of the secret service, told BBC Amharic. He estimated that he heard the explosion in the Gotera neighbourhood some time around 00:30 local time (21:30 GMT).
它的强度足以引发汽车警报,”该市南部地区靠近特勤局基地的一名居民告诉 BBC 阿姆哈拉语。 他估计他在当地时间 00:30(格林威治标准时间 21:30)左右的某个时间听到了 Gotera 附近的爆炸声。

Clashes broke out last week after months of tension between the government and the party that controls Tigray, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF).
在政府与控制提格雷的提格雷人民解放阵线(TPLF)之间关系紧张数月后,上周爆发了冲突。
They both accuse each other of violating a 2022 peace deal that ended a brutal two-year civil war, which according to an Africa Union mediator is estimated to have cost 600,000 lives.
他们都指责对方违反了 2022 年和平协议,该协议结束了残酷的两年内战,据非洲联盟调解人称,这场内战估计造成 60 万人丧生。
Last month, seven armed movements, including the TPLF and an Amhara militia known as Fano, formed an alliance with the stated aim of removing the government in Addis Ababa.
上个月,包括TPLF和名为Fano的阿姆哈拉民兵在内的七个武装运动结成联盟,其既定目标是推翻亚的斯亚贝巴政府。
There is disagreement over which side started the latest fighting.
对于哪一方发起了最近的战斗存在分歧。
The TPLF says it was responding to a federal offensive, including drone strikes, while the government says Tigrayan forces attacked first after seizing control of airports in the region.
提格雷人解放阵线表示,这是对包括无人机袭击在内的联邦攻势做出的回应,而政府则表示,提格雷亚军队在夺取该地区机场控制权后首先发动袭击。
The BBC is unable to report from Tigray and surrounding areas.
BBC 无法对提格雷及周边地区进行报道。
It is difficult to verify what is happening on the ground and access to the internet and the main telecoms service provider in Tigray have also been cut.
很难核实当地发生的情况,互联网和提格雷主要电信服务提供商的接入也被切断。
Within Tigray, the national army and a pro-government militia appear to be advancing towards the region's main city of Mekelle.
在提格雷境内,国家军队和亲政府民兵似乎正在向该地区的主要城市默克莱挺进。
In the southern Tigrayan town of Alamata, a medic told the BBC on Wednesday that 52 civilians had died in three days of heavy fighting.
在提格雷南部小镇阿拉马塔,一名医务人员周三告诉 BBC,三天的激烈战斗中有 52 名平民死亡。
The TPLF is also reported to be fighting in neighbouring Afar region, a strategic area which connects landlocked Ethiopia to Djibouti and its ports.
据报道,蒂格雷人阵还在邻近的阿法尔地区作战,该地区是连接内陆埃塞俄比亚和吉布提及其港口的战略地区。
A humanitarian source has estimated that tens of thousands have fled their homes in Afar, according to the AFP news agency.
据法新社报道,人道主义消息人士估计,数万人已逃离阿法尔的家园。
Fighting around Lalibela in the Amhara region, a Unesco world heritage site where foreign tourists have been stranded for more than a week, has involved the national army and Fano fighters, now allied to the TPLF.
阿姆哈拉地区拉利贝拉是联合国教科文组织世界遗产地,外国游客已被困在那里一个多星期了,围绕该地区的战斗涉及国家军队和法诺武装分子,这些武装分子现在与蒂格雷人阵结盟。
The government has accused neighbouring Eritrea of backing these groups.
政府指责邻国厄立特里亚支持这些组织。
One pro-government militia commander fighting in Tigray told the BBC that Eritrean soldiers were involved on the front lines.
一名在提格雷作战的亲政府民兵指挥官告诉英国广播公司,厄立特里亚士兵参与了前线。
But in a rare response to the BBC from Eritrea's government, Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel dismissed the allegations.
但厄立特里亚政府罕见地对 BBC 作出回应,信息部长耶马内·格布雷梅斯克尔驳回了这些指控。
He accused Ethiopia's ruling Prosperity Party (PP) of seeking external scapegoats for the country's mounting challenges.
他指责埃塞俄比亚执政的繁荣党(PP)为该国日益严峻的挑战寻找外部替罪羊。
"The PP regime has made it a habit to apportion blame to its neighbours in order to deflect attention from the myriad internal conflicts that it is fomenting in various parts of the country," he told BBC Tigrinya.
他对 BBC Tigrinya 表示:“人民党政权已经习惯于将责任归咎于邻国,以转移人们对其在该国各地煽动的无数内部冲突的注意力。”
Eritrea was a key ally of Ethiopia during the Tigray war, fighting against the TPLF.
厄立特里亚是提格雷战争期间埃塞俄比亚的重要盟友,与蒂格雷人阵作战。
But relations between the two neighbours have since deteriorated largely over the Ethiopian prime minister's ambition to take ownership of one of Eritrea's Red Sea ports.
但此后,这两个邻国之间的关系在很大程度上因埃塞俄比亚总理想要获得厄立特里亚红海港口之一的所有权而恶化。
Ethiopia lost access to them when Eritrea seceded in 1993.
1993 年厄立特里亚脱离后,埃塞俄比亚失去了与这些国家的联系。
Abiy has even hinted at taking the port of Assab - about 60km (37 miles) from the border - by force as he sees direct access to the sea as important for Ethiopia's long-term future and economic prosperity.
阿比甚至暗示要以武力夺取距离边境约 60 公里(37 英里)的阿萨布港,因为他认为直接出海对于埃塞俄比亚的长期未来和经济繁荣非常重要。
As concerns over security mount in Ethiopia, the country's National Intelligence and Security Service (Niss) announced on Wednesday that it was imposing an indefinite ban on drone flights in Addis Ababa and surrounding areas.
随着埃塞俄比亚的安全担忧加剧,该国国家情报和安全局(Niss)周三宣布,无限期禁止无人机在亚的斯亚贝巴及周边地区飞行。
The agency said it would not issue permits for drone operations and warned that legal action would be taken against anyone flying drones in restricted areas.
该机构表示,不会发放无人机操作许可证,并警告称,将对任何在禁区飞行无人机的人采取法律行动。
Niss said the measure was necessary to protect national leaders, critical infrastructure and major public events.
尼斯表示,这一措施对于保护国家领导人、关键基础设施和重大公共活动是必要的。
