Ethiopia Informs UN of Eritrean Aggression and Border Incursions

Ethiopian Foreign Minister Dr. Gideon Timothewos has formally written to the UN Security Council, accusing Eritrea of invading Ethiopian territory. The letter details that Eritrean forces have penetrated 30 to 60 kilometers into Ethiopia, occupying three zones within the Tigray region. Ethiopia asserts that this action violates international law and states that it reserves the right to self-defense. Residents near Adigrat have reported seeing large convoys of Eritrean troops moving towards Mekelle. Meanwhile, the Eritrean government continues to deny these allegations, though both nations have acknowledged a breakdown in diplomatic relations.
