Ethiopia and Tigray accuse each other of launching new offensives

Ethiopian federal authorities and forces in the Tigray region have accused each other of launching offensives, according to the BBC, fuelling fears of a return to full-scale conflict.
Local authorities reportedly seized airports in Tigray following reports of recent drone strikes, though the BBC's report did not specify further details of the strikes or who carried them out.
Limited details available
The report did not provide casualty figures or specify the exact locations of the reported offensives.
Ethiopia and Tigray fought a devastating civil war between 2020 and 2022 before a peace agreement was signed, and tensions between the federal government and regional authorities have periodically resurfaced since then.
