Ethiopia-Eritrea ties severed; drone strikes reported over Addis Ababa

Ethiopia and Eritrea have accused each other of aggression and severed diplomatic ties amid an intensifying conflict between the Ethiopian government and an opposition coalition. Drone activity over Addis Ababa signals a new phase, as the opposition now reportedly possesses drones, a capability previously held only by the government. The breakdown in bilateral relations risks opening a second front and regional destabilization.
