Tigrayan forces accuse Eritrea of launching full-scale offensive on border

Tigray People's Liberation Front says Eritreans are fighting alongside Ethiopian government forces and allied militia

Eritrea has launched a full-scale offensive along the border of Ethiopia's northern Tigray region, Tigrayan rebels have said, in what appears to be an escalation of last month's renewal of fighting.

The Eritreans were fighting alongside Ethiopian federal forces, including commando units, as well as allied militia, said Getachew Reda, a spokesperson for the Tigray People's Liberation Front.
