Eritrea Claims Ethiopia Declared War and Appeals to UN

The escalation follows a series of military clashes, including Ethiopian drone strikes targeting Eritrean troops who entered the territory through Zelambesa and moved toward the town of Adigrat. Eritrea denies any territorial incursion, claiming Addis Ababa is fabricating pretexts to justify its own expansionist claims following the collapse of the TPLF. The two countries severed diplomatic ties last week, and the US has urged citizens to reconsider travel to Ethiopia amid fears the fighting could spark a wider regional war involving Sudan and Egypt.
