> Ethiopia says Eritrean troops have entered Tigray, calling the alleged incursion an attack on its sovereignty. Eritrea denies crossing the border and says the claim is a pretext for an Ethiopian offensive. The accusations at the UN come as fighting intensifies in Tigray and the neighbours dispute Ethiopia’s push for Red Sea access.
