Summary

Witnesses reported seeing Eritrean soldiers in the northern Ethiopian town of Adigrat, with accounts describing a convoy of approximately 40 trucks carrying soldiers traveling south toward Edaga Hamus. Ethiopia and various officials, including UAE minister Sheikh Shakhboot bin Nahyan Al Nahyan, stated that Eritrean forces had entered Ethiopian territory. However, Eritrea and its Foreign Minister Osman Saleh denied the allegations, characterizing Ethiopia's claims as a pretext for war. Reuters stated it was unable to independently confirm the reports. The claimed deployment occurred amid escalating tensions between the two nations, which had severed diplomatic ties, and followed fighting between Ethiopian federal forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front.
