“Des frappes de drones auraient visé les forces érythréennes alors qu'elles progressaient en territoire éthiopien pour, selon Asmara, parer à un « danger imminent » lié à l'avancée des Forces de défense nationales éthiopiennes (ENDF) vers la frontière nord de l'Érythrée.”
“The Bure, Denakil, Garbo and Awala areas in the Afar region are now considered active combat zones between Ethiopian and Eritrean forces. These clashes involve infantry, heavy weapons and aircrafts.”
“The conflict in Ethiopia's northern region of Tigray moved a step closer to triggering a wider conflagration last week when Eritrean forces crossed the border, and Ethiopia hit back with two days of drone strikes on the troops and equipment.”
“Ethiopia Launches Drone Attack Against Eritrean Troops. Ethiopian forces launched drone attacks on the Eritrean troops who entered in the Tigray region.”
“Eritrean troops have suffered “heavy losses” and are retreating toward their border, a spokesperson for an Ethiopian pro-government militia tells AFP.”
“Eritrean prisoners from several facilities, including Adi Abeyto prison, have been released and conscripted into military service, according to an internal source. All Eritrean government employees have reportedly been issued firearms, according to the same internal source.”
“Reports allege that Eritrean regime forces are entering Ethiopian territory in large numbers from eastern and northwestern Tigray. Eastern Tigray: troop movements are reported near Sebeya, Serha, Kiya Keshi, Zalambessa, and several surrounding areas, with artillery reportedly positioned at Serdi Tirke. Northwestern Tigray: large numbers of Eritrean forces are reportedly moving through Adi Tsitsar, Ademiti, and Shiraro toward Atsrgan and the Gadena highlands.”

“The all-out invasion of parts of northern Ethiopia by Eritrea is a matter of public record. It is a blatant act of aggression that engages Ethiopia's inherent right to self-defence.”
