Local officials in Ethiopia have revealed that serious fighting has been taking place on the border between the northern Tigray region and neighbouring Amhara region.
Residents around the area say around 15 people were killed in the recent wave of confrontations.
The clashes in Wag-Hemra – an area claimed by both regions – come almost six months after the conflict in Tigray began.

Although the regional TPLF government was ousted within a month, correspondents, however, insist that the fighting is further evidence that pro-TPLF fighters have not given up.
Ethiopia is scheduled to hold delayed elections in early June but because of the conflict, the polls have been cancelled in Tigray and there are fears of further violence in other parts of the country.
