Summary

Eritrean soldiers were reported entering the northern Ethiopian towns of Adigrat and Idaga Hamus in early October 2026, amid renewed fighting between Ethiopian federal forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front. Local residents and witnesses observed Eritrean soldiers on the streets of Adigrat and a convoy of approximately 40 trucks carrying soldiers traveling south. Ethiopia's government accused Eritrea of deploying troops in Tigray and demanded their withdrawal, while Eritrea's information minister declined to confirm or deny the presence of Eritrean troops. The reported deployment followed the Ethiopian army's entry into Mekelle and occurred as diplomatic ties between Ethiopia and Eritrea had been severed. Reports indicate Eritrean forces were positioned around Adigrat, north of Mekelle, and moving southward, though independent verification of the troop movements remained limited.
