UK condemns Tigray forces' Afar attacks, airport seizures as Ethiopia truce frays

The UK condemns Tigray Defence Forces attacks in Afar and southern Tigray and their seizure of Tigray's airports, urging de-escalation. This marks a notable escalation in the fragile post-2022 peace process, with the first reported airport takeovers since the truce. The statement signals renewed international concern but offers no new measures, leaving the trajectory of the conflict uncertain.
