Ethiopian federal forces reached Zalambessa, a town in Tigray near the Eritrean border, on October 13, according to six sources cited by Reuters. The advance follows reported government gains in nearby towns, including Fatsi and Adigrat. It remains unclear whether Eritrean troops or rebel fighters are present in Zalambessa, and Ethiopia’s military has not publicly confirmed taking the town. The move heightens fears of direct confrontation between Ethiopia and Eritrea, whose relations have worsened amid mutual accusations and renewed fighting in Tigray.
