Summary

Witnesses reported seeing Eritrean soldiers in and around Adigrat in northern Ethiopia's Tigray region in early October, with accounts describing convoys of military trucks moving south toward Mekelle. Ethiopian officials and multiple sources stated that Eritrean troops had deployed in the area, while Eritrea's government denied the allegations, describing them as a pretext for Ethiopian aggression. The sightings came amid renewed fighting between Ethiopian federal forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front, with both Ethiopia and Eritrea accusing each other of military aggression and appealing to the UN Security Council. No independent verification of the troop movements was achieved by international media outlets. The situation heightened regional tensions, with both countries having severed diplomatic ties.
