There's likely a comms node within the stadium receiving targeting information from ISR drones (Bayraktar Akinci) which have been frequently seen heading into the Amhara region from Harar Meda Air Base.

It's highly debatable whether the apex of the projectiles will be able to clear the mountains to reach towns beyond visual line of sight. Most of the towns targeted have been within visual LOS.

2nd image shows theoretical coverage for the artillery battery (~15km radius) with major towns pinned within that enclosure. There have already been multiple reports of indiscriminate targeting of villages controlled by FANO.

Updated Google Earth imagery dated 6/19/2024, shows that ENDF has shored up defenses around the perimeter of Woldiya stadium in Amhara region with multiple artillery gunner positions as the fighting with FANO intensifies.

Very spotty tracking for this Fly Sky Airlines IL-76TD (EX-76005 #6010EC). It appeared near Benghazi at 1757z 20 Dec & is now tracking to Mombasa (0020z 21 Dec). No further info.
