Renewed Clashes in Tigray, Afar, and Amhara Borders; Ethiopian Airlines Suspends Flights

Renewed fighting has been reported across the border areas of Tigray, Afar, and the Amhara region. The Afar Regional Communication Bureau stated that the TPLF launched attacks in the Kilbeti Resu zone using heavy weaponry. Similarly, intense clashes were reported in parts of North Wollo and Raya Kobo in the Amhara region. Due to the deteriorating security situation, Ethiopian Airlines suspended all flights to Tigrayan cities, citing that TPLF forces have taken control of regional airports and personnel security is at risk. Additionally, reports indicate that the former interim administration president of Tigray, General Tadesse Werede, has had his security detail replaced and his movements restricted. Meanwhile, General Gebre Adhana, known as 'Gebre Dila,' has reportedly joined the federal government.
