Ethiopia Confirms Eritrean Invasion as Troops Advance Deep into Tigray

Eritrean troops have advanced deep into Ethiopia’s Tigray region, moving from the border town of Zalambessa toward central towns including Adigrat and Edaga Hamus. Residents reported convoys of 20 to 60 military trucks, some carrying heavy weapons, entering the area. The Ethiopian government officially condemned the move as an invasion, demanding Eritrean forces withdraw immediately. This escalation follows the Tigray People’s Liberation Front’s (TPLF) recent withdrawal from the regional capital, Mekelle, and the severing of diplomatic ties between Addis Ababa and Asmara.

Hilltop near Ali Taher becomes flashpoint in Israel–Hezbollah clashes

Intense fighting around Ali Taher hill north of the Litani River has renewed fears of a broader Lebanon-Israel confrontation as Israeli forces press operations against Hezbollah positions. The hill, topped by a shrine, sits near a potential pathway to Hezbollah strongholds, with analysts noting its capture would bolster Israel’s security posture and increase pressure on Hezbollah. Lebanese officials and the U.S. say diplomacy is ongoing—U.S. envoys have signaled willingness to talk with Hezbollah if it disarms, while Iran seeks guarantees in any deal—yet Israeli leaders have threatened to escalate until Hezbollah is disarmed.

Afghanistan Launches Cross-Border Offensive After Pakistani Air Strikes

The conflicting claims come amid escalated border tensions, with reports of civilian casualties and continued border closures.
