Armed fighters from Ethiopia's Fano movement have claimed to have seized military trucks and weapons from government forces in the Amhara region, according to a report from Al Jazeera.
The claim, if confirmed, would mark another development in the ongoing tensions between Fano fighters and Ethiopian federal forces in Amhara, a region that has experienced sustained unrest in recent times.
Unverified claims amid regional unrest
Details on the exact circumstances of the alleged capture, including its location and timing, were limited in the initial report. Ethiopian authorities have not been reported to have issued an official response confirming or denying the claim.
The Fano movement has been involved in a prolonged confrontation with the federal government, with periodic reports of clashes and territorial control shifting in different parts of the Amhara region.
Independent verification of the claim was not immediately available, and the broader security situation in the region remained a point of concern for observers tracking the conflict.
