提格雷地方武装力量从联邦警察手中夺取了区域首都梅克莱的主要机场1。据报道，提格雷人民解放阵线（TPLF）控制了提格雷地区的三个机场，包括梅克莱、阿克苏姆和谢尔机场2。埃塞俄比亚航空公司已暂停了前往梅克莱、希雷和阿克苏姆的航班服务12。这次军事升级发生在TPLF宣布与其他武装组织结成联盟以推翻政府后不久1。
该地区近期遭遇多次无人机空袭，导致严重人员伤亡。周二，南部城镇阿拉玛塔的无人机轰炸造成至少14人死亡、22人受伤1。阿拉玛塔市长莫戈斯·希费劳声称有五架以上无人机和一架战斗机进行了超过21次空袭1。美国国务院谴责了针对天主教运粮车队的无人机空袭1。政府军恢复了无人机轰炸2，而提格雷政府则声称被迫进入"防御性战斗"以应对"种族灭绝入侵"2。
2022年11月签署的《比勒陀利亚协议》曾结束了长达两年、造成约600,000人死亡的提格雷战争1。然而，和平协议签署后，双方相互指责对方违反协议条款1。此次冲突升级也在邻近的阿法尔和阿姆哈拉地区引发政府军与TPLF之间的交战2。
Regional armed forces in Ethiopia's Tigray region have taken control of Mekelle airport from federal police 1. The seizure represents an escalation following the announcement of an alliance between the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and six armed groups aimed at overthrowing the government in Addis Ababa 1. The TPLF has also seized control of airports in Aksum and Shiraro 2, prompting Ethiopian Airlines to suspend flights to Mekelle, Shiraro, and Aksum 12.
The military tensions have intensified dramatically in recent days. On Sunday, the TPLF declared the formation of a "survival alliance" with other groups to challenge Prime Minister Abiy's administration 2. Government forces have resumed drone strikes, with a Tuesday attack on the southern town of Alamata resulting in at least 14 deaths and 22 injuries 1. Alamata's mayor, Mogos Hifealou, reported that more than five unmanned aircraft and a fighter jet carried out over 21 strikes 1. The U.S. State Department condemned a Monday drone strike targeting a Catholic food convoy 1. The Tigray regional government claims it has been forced into "defensive fighting" in response to what it characterizes as a "genocide invasion" 2.
The renewed conflict marks a significant deterioration since the November 2022 Pretoria Peace Agreement, which formally ended a two-year war that claimed approximately 600,000 lives 1. Both sides now accuse each other of violating the peace accord 1. The African Union estimates the 2020-2022 conflict displaced over one million people 2.
