Eritrean Troops Reportedly Enter Ethiopia's Tigray Amid Rising Regional Tensions
Eritrean troops have reportedly crossed into Ethiopia's northern Tigray region amid ongoing conflict between the Tigray People's Liberation Front and Ethiopian federal forces. Eyewitnesses and sources confirm Eritrean forces are positioned near Adigrat, pushing south, while Ethiopia demands their immediate withdrawal. Eritrea denies the incursion, accusing Ethiopia of fabricating claims to justify aggression. The deployment raises concerns of escalating the internal conflict into a broader regional war, with fears linked to Ethiopia's access to the Red Sea and past civil war tensions.
