Military activity reached a new peak today as reports from Mekelle and border towns like Rama and Zalambesa indicate the movement of heavy weaponry and tanks toward the northern frontier with Eritrea. Following a five-day suspension of Ethiopian Airlines flights to Tigray due to 'unplanned circumstances,' service resumed today amid reports of intense drone surveillance in the Tselemt area. The International Crisis Group (ICG) warned that a 'flare-up' in Western Tigray poses an immediate risk of full-scale regional conflict. Independent analysts have identified the movement of Eritrean naval assets in the Red Sea and intensified patrols as part of an asymmetric arms race. Displaced civilians from the Alamata region have begun fleeing again, citing fears that the current troop concentrations and the collapse of diplomatic channels between Abiy Ahmed and Isaias Afwerki are precursors to renewed cross-border hostilities.
