The committee said in a statement issued today that "it is currently estimated that the number of victims stands at 34, and is likely to increase" as a result of the attack that occurred on Saturday night in the Bennishgul-Gumuz region.

The commission indicated that the attack targeted a passenger bus in western Ethiopia, the region that has recently witnessed a series of bloody attacks against civilians.

Ethiopia began a military offensive in the northern Tigray region on the fourth of November, after accusing Tigray forces of attacking federal forces stationed in the northern region, which borders Eritrea and Sudan.
