> Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of an invasion in northern Tigray, saying Eritrean troops advanced up to 60km, while Eritrea denies the claims and accuses Ethiopia of waging a war of aggression. The neighbours also trade allegations over Eritrea’s support for the TPLF as diplomatic ties collapse and fears of outright regional war grow.
