00:01Tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea are escalating with fears of a new regional war growing.
00:07Ethiopian drones have reportedly struck Eritrean forces near Adi Grat, a city in northern Tigray, according to conflict monitors and
00:16witnesses.
00:17The strikes reportedly hit Eritrean troops and military vehicles, with witnesses describing multiple explosions overnight.
00:24Eritrean forces had crossed into Ethiopia earlier this week and were positioned around Adi Grat.
00:31The crisis comes after Ethiopia and Eritrea severed diplomatic ties, with both governments accusing the other of supporting armed opponents.
00:39Eritrea says Ethiopia is seeking regime change and wants access to the Red Sea.
00:44The two countries fought a devastating border war from 1998 to 2000, but relations improved after Prime Minister Ahmed came
00:53to power.
00:54Now that relationship has sharply deteriorated again.
