Federal troops have pushed deeper into Tigray after recapturing the strategic town of Alamata, with at least 52 civilians killed during three days of intense fighting. Heavy artillery strikes on residential areas and a market have compounded the humanitarian toll as government forces appear to be moving northward toward Mekelle.
Battlefield Developments and Humanitarian Impact
Government forces appear to have taken control of Alamata and are now advancing northward, with clashes also reported around Korem, approximately 100 kilometres south of Mekelle, Tigray's capital. The renewed fighting follows months of escalating tensions between Ethiopia's federal government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front, both of which accuse each other of violating the 2022 peace agreement that ended the previous war.
At least 52 civilians were killed during three days of fighting around Alamata, with heavy artillery reportedly striking residential areas and a market. More than 700 wounded people have been treated at hospitals supported by Médecins Sans Frontières across Tigray, underscoring the severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.
Wider Regional Escalation and Verification Challenges
The conflict is also spreading beyond Tigray, with fighting reported in neighbouring Afar and Amhara regions, raising fears of a wider war in Ethiopia. The previous Tigray war killed hundreds of thousands and displaced large numbers of people, and this new escalation has revived concerns about a repeat of that devastating conflict.
Communications remain disrupted across the affected areas, making independent verification of battlefield claims difficult. This lack of reliable information flow complicates efforts to confirm the full scope of the fighting and its impact on local populations.
