JAKARTA - Six explosions occurred in Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, on Saturday, November 28, the United States Department of State said on Twitter although the cause and location of the incident was unclear.

"At 10:13 p.m. November 28 there were six explosions in Asmara," the Foreign Ministry said in the post on Sunday (29/11).

Tigray's troops who previously fought against Ethiopian troops fired rockets at Eritrea, and the US State Department urged Americans to "remain vigilant about the situation of the ongoing conflict on Tigray on Ethiopian territory."

Reuters could not immediately reach the Eritrean government or Tigray's forces for comment.

On Saturday, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced that central government forces were taking control of Mekelle, the capital of Tigray, within hours of launching attacks there.

The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), a political party whose struggle against the government began November 4, said it was withdrawing from Mekelle. The TPLF considers Eritrea, which has warm relations with Abiy, as a sworn enemy.
