Eritrea says Ethiopia made an attack within its territory

Addis Ababa: Eritrea's government has accused Ethiopia of launching an attack inside its territory, but the extent of the assault was still unclear and there was no immediate response from Ethiopia.

"The TPLF regime has today, Sunday 12 June 2016, unleashed an attack against Eritrea on the Tsorona Central Front," the Information Ministry said in a statement late on Sunday, referring to Ethiopia's Tigrayan People's Liberation Front, one of the four parties making up the ruling coalition.
