Summary

Multiple residents of Adigrat and other northern Ethiopian towns reported seeing Eritrean soldiers and a convoy of approximately 40 trucks carrying soldiers traveling south in early October 2026. Ethiopia accused Eritrea of deploying troops and demanded their withdrawal, later telling the UN Security Council that Eritrea had sent infantry and mechanized units and was occupying parts of northern Ethiopia. Eritrea denied the allegations, accusing Ethiopia of fabricating pretexts for war and claiming it faced Ethiopian aggression. The reports could not independently verify the troop movements or the allegations. Both countries severed diplomatic ties amid the escalating tensions.
