Summary

Two eyewitnesses saw Eritrean soldiers on the streets of Adigrat in Ethiopia's Tigray region. Multiple reports describe Eritrean troop movements from the border town of Zalambessa toward central Tigray, with convoys reportedly passing through Adigrat and heading toward Edaga Hamus between Adigrat and Mekelle. Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of supporting the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) in renewed fighting that began two weeks ago; Eritrea denies these allegations. The deployment follows the breakdown of diplomatic ties between the two countries and comes as Ethiopian federal forces have taken control of Mekelle. Residents of Adigrat expressed distress at the return of Eritrean soldiers, citing memories from the 2020-2022 civil war. No death or injury count is established for this incident.
