🇪🇹🇪🇷 - The situation in Zalambessa, Adigrat direction, along the Ethiopia-Eritrea border, has become incredibly tense over the past few hours.

Eritrea's military, EDF, is positioned in the northern outskirts of the town, as well as areas north of the town.

Ethiopian forces, ENDF, have set up checkpoints south of the town preventing anyone from evacuating towards Fadi or Adigrat.

The town itself is uncontrolled by either side. Locals report looting, closure of most shops, and most essential food has run out.
