Ethiopia said a United Nations team visiting refugees in Ethiopia's war-hit Tigray region was shot at after it defied checkpoints. Ethiopia said it did not need a "baby-sitter". The UN team intended to go to the Shimelba camp for Eritrean refugees when they were fired at on Sunday. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Secretary-General Antonio Guterres spoke with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and raised concerns.
