Original: Ethiopia and Eritrea sever diplomatic ties as northern fighting escalates
Ethiopia and Eritrea have cut diplomatic relations as fighting intensifies in northern Ethiopia, according to the headline report. The move marks a dramatic rupture between the two neighbours, whose relations had already been strained, and raises concerns about further regional instability in the Horn of Africa. Details about casualties, the exact trigger, or international reaction were not provided in the available reporting.
