Hundreds flee to Sudan following heavy clashes in northern Ethiopia

Hundreds of civilians from Ethiopia's Tigray region have fled across the border into neighboring Sudan following heavy clashes between Ethiopian federal troops and regional forces. The military confrontation erupted near the border town of Shererina over the weekend, causing local disruption and raising concerns about a potential resurgence of widespread conflict in the area.

This latest fighting represents one of the most serious armed escalations in northern Ethiopia since the cessation of major hostilities in the region. Local officials and humanitarian monitors are currently tracking the displacement of residents seeking refuge in Sudan as regional tensions increase.
