Al Jazeera reported from near the front line in Ethiopia's Afar region, where fighting has spread amid efforts by armed opposition to oust Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, according to the network's video coverage.
The report did not specify which armed groups are involved in the fighting in Afar, the scale of casualties resulting from the clashes, or how long the current bout of fighting has been ongoing in the region.
Ethiopia has faced a series of internal armed conflicts in recent years involving various regional and ethnic-based forces, with tensions between the federal government led by Abiy Ahmed and armed groups in different parts of the country persisting despite periodic ceasefire efforts.
Al Jazeera's report did not detail the federal government's current military response in Afar or provide comment from Ethiopian officials on the state of the conflict in the region.
The Afar region, located in northeastern Ethiopia along strategic transport corridors linking the country to the port of Djibouti, holds significant logistical importance, making instability there a matter of broader concern for the country's economy and regional trade.
