Mekelle reportedly fell after the TPLF allegedly abandoned the Tigrayan capital without a fight and withdrew back into the mountains. ENDF troops are entering the city.

Footage posted by the pro-government Tigray Peace Force (TPF) reportedly shows its fighters marching into Alamata following the withdrawal of TPLF rebels.

Earlier, the ENDF advanced from Kobo and seized control of the city in southern Tigray.

The Tigray Defense Forces (TDF) have reportedly captured Erebti in the Afar Region. Combat footage shows fighters operating a pickup truck armed with a China-made 14.5x114mm QJG-02 heavy machine gun.

Fighting has broken out between Ethiopian federal forces and Tigrayan rebels in the Afar region, with clashes reported in Abala and Erebti, according to AFP. Aid groups have warned the fighting could expand.

Separately, TPLF forces have seized control of an airport in Mekelle, the capital of Ethiopia’s Tigray region. The takeover follows the formation of an alliance of seven Ethiopian militias, including the TPLF, aimed at overthrowing the current government.
