📍 Undeclared Direct War Between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Heavy direct fighting has erupted along the Egela-Tsorona front between Ethiopian and Eritrean forces. Clashes began on Friday with Ethiopian drones and artillery shelling Eritrean positions near Qolo-Berdo village and continued whole day Saturday. On Sunday morning, infantry units from both armies engaged in close-range ground combat.
Both sides are claiming victory. Ethiopian sources claim their forces advanced from Igella toward Tsorona, while Eritrean sources are reporting a major victory, comparing it to their historic 1999 victory in Igri Mekel. Today the ground combat was calm.
📍 Tigrayan Forces Claim Major Victory Between Ahferom and Bizet. Tigrayan forces claim to have inflicted heavy losses on Ethiopian government troops during clashes between Ahferom and Bizet. According to Tigrayan sources, Ethiopian forces transported dead and wounded soldiers in four trucks.

Local sources report that Fano forces have taken control of Wuchale following days of intense clashes. Senior military commanders, including colonels, were reportedly surrounded in Ambassel.
📍 Sudan Takes Ethiopia to UN and African Union. Sudan has filed formal complaints with the UN Security Council and the African Union, accusing Ethiopia of enabling RSF drone attacks that have killed or wounded hundreds of civilians and soldiers.

📍 Ethiopia Suspends The Reporter Newspaper. Ethiopia’s Media Authority announced on Monday the indefinite suspension of the registration of The Reporter newspaper and its digital platforms. Founded in 1995, the publication was the country’s last active privately owned Amharic-language print newspaper.
