Ethiopia has yesterday accused Eritrea of launching three successive attacks

Ethiopia has yesterday accused Eritrea of launching three successive attacks on Badme and unleashing "unusually heavy shelling on the Zalambesa front." With the Eritrean Ministry of Foreign Affairs responding today by saying "Now, in its 'military report' of Sunday, the Ethiopian regime repackages Eritrea's accounts of the battle to claim that it 'had killed or wounded over 9,000 Eritrean soldiers and destroyed 36 enemy tanks,' in the Tsorona battle, the occurrence of which it had originally denied."
