📍Eritrea says open aggression is being waged against it. Eritrean Foreign Ministry official Eyob Gebrehiwot accused Ethiopia of turning a three-year media campaign into open aggression, in a statement on the Information Ministry's page. On Wednesday, Ethiopia told UN envoy Guang Cong that Eritrea is arming insurgents and coordinating drone attacks.
📍 Moyale fighting enters day 19.
Clashes continue around Hudhat District, Dawa Zone. An unverified video appears to show Oromia regional forces burning Somali pastoralists' homes while threatening residents. Oromia authorities have not commented.

Maj. Gen. Yohannes Gebreegziabher ("John Medid"), former southern front commander who surrendered weeks ago, criticised Tigray's leadership as backward in a government documentary. He remains in government custody.
