Ethiopia's military reported repelling attacks from Tigrayan fighters in the northern regions, marking its first statement since renewed hostilities began. The army claimed to have inflicted significant casualties and seized weapons, as fears of a potential civil war resurface following escalating tensions between the federal government and Tigray leaders.
Reports indicate that Tigrayan forces have launched artillery attacks in neighboring regions, while the TPLF has formed an alliance with other armed groups. The situation remains fluid, with humanitarian concerns growing as residents face cash shortages and limited mobility amid the conflict.
