根据冲突监测报告，埃塞俄比亚政府军在推进北部提格雷地区后，于周三向厄立特里亚边境部署了坦克和重型武器。
Ethiopian government forces have deployed tanks and heavy weapons toward the Eritrean border after advancing through northern Tigray, according to the latest conflict-monitoring reports on Wednesday.
武装冲突地点与事件数据项目（ACLED）表示，此举引发了人们对重新爆发的冲突可能升级为两国之间对抗的担忧。ACLED是一个独立组织，负责全球武装冲突的监测。
The move has raised fears that renewed fighting could escalate into a confrontation between the neighboring countries, said the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), an independent organization that monitors armed conflicts worldwide.
ACLED称：“目击者观察到，一支由坦克和重型武器组成的大型车队正从阿迪格拉特向法茨伊和扎兰贝萨推进。”该组织指的是厄立特里亚边境上的两个关键战略城镇。
“Eyewitnesses observed a substantial convoy of tanks and heavy weaponry advancing from Adigrat toward Fatsi and Zalambessa,” according to ACLED, referring to two key strategic towns on the Eritrean frontier.
ACLED报告称，该行动始于周一夜间，并持续到周二，时间点是在埃塞俄比亚军队及其盟友提格雷和平部队（TPF）战士夺取这些城镇之后。
ACLED reported that the movement began overnight Monday and continued Tuesday, following the capture of the towns by Ethiopian troops and allied Tigray Peace Force (TPF) fighters.
厄立特里亚政府否认了埃塞俄比亚关于军事入侵的指控。信息部长亚马内·格布雷梅斯克尔指责亚的斯亚贝巴正在发动“一场无端的侵略战争”。
Eritrea has rejected Ethiopian accusations of military incursions, with Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel accusing Addis Ababa of pursuing “an unprovoked war of aggression.”
厄立特里亚政府还呼吁国际干预。外交部长奥斯曼·萨利赫敦促联合国安理会“根据《联合国宪章》第七章，对其实施必要的威慑措施”。
The Eritrean government has also urged international intervention, with Foreign Minister Osman Saleh urging the UN Security Council to “take the requisite deterrent measures against it in accordance with Chapter VII of the UN Charter.”
总部位于美国的安全研究组织“关键威胁项目”（Critical Threats Project）在周二的评估中表示，埃塞俄比亚军队从阿迪格拉特向北推进了大约37公里（23英里），到达扎兰贝萨，途中未遇到实质性抵抗。
The Critical Threats Project, a US-based security research organization, said in its Tuesday assessment that Ethiopian troops had advanced approximately 37 kilometers (23 miles) north from Adigrat to Zalambessa without encountering substantial resistance.
该组织还报道称，厄立特里亚军队在扎兰贝萨以北建立了防御阵地，这一信息来源于开源军事监测，尽管厄立特里亚的部署规模无法得到独立确认。
It also reported that Eritrean troops had established defensive positions north of Zalambessa, citing open-source military monitoring, although the extent of Eritrea's deployment could not be independently confirmed.
ACLED表示，此前驻扎在扎兰贝萨-法茨伊走廊的厄立特里亚部队于周一撤回边境另一侧，而 rival 的提格雷武装则撤退至德布雷达莫和伊罗布方向。
ACLED said Eritrean forces previously stationed along the Zalambessa-Fatsi corridor withdrew across the border Monday, while rival Tigrayan fighters retreated toward Debre Damo and Irob.
撤军并不意味着所有厄立特里亚军队已经离开埃塞俄比亚领土，边境其他路段的情况仍不明朗。
The withdrawal does not establish that all Eritrean troops have left Ethiopian territory, with the situation along other sections of the border remaining unclear.
军事进展是埃塞俄比亚针对与提格雷人民解放阵线（TPLF）有关联的武装力量发动的反攻的一部分，该组织的新一轮行动导致埃塞俄比亚北部局势动荡。
The military advances are part of an Ethiopian counteroffensive against forces linked to the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), whose renewed campaign has destabilized northern Ethiopia.
提格雷人民阵线（TPF）与埃塞俄比亚联邦政府结盟，而对手提格雷国防军则与TPLF有关联。
The TPF is aligned with Ethiopia's federal government, while the rival Tigray Defense Forces are associated with the TPLF.
最新的交火也使埃塞俄比亚和厄立特里亚陷入日益敌对的外交对峙。
The latest fighting has also brought Ethiopia and Eritrea into an increasingly hostile diplomatic confrontation.
埃塞俄比亚指责厄立特里亚向提格雷派遣军队并支持武装反对派，厄立特里亚首都阿斯马拉否认了这些指控。
Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of sending troops into Tigray and supporting armed opposition groups, allegations Asmara denies.
埃塞俄比亚外交部长格迪翁·蒂莫特沃斯在致联合国安理会的一封信中警告称，他的国家“不得不采取行动防御自己，以对抗厄立特里亚。”厄立特里亚则回击埃塞俄比亚威胁其主权，并试图为对其领土发动军事行动辩护。
In a letter to the UN Security Council, Ethiopian Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos warned that his country had "no option but to defend itself against Eritrea." Eritrea responded by accusing Ethiopia of threatening its sovereignty and attempting to justify military action against its territory.
该争端因埃塞俄比亚长期要求获得红海通道而进一步复杂化，厄立特里亚认为这可能威胁其领土完整，特别是涉及战略港口阿萨布时。
The dispute is further complicated by Ethiopia's longstanding demand for access to the Red Sea, which Eritrea views as a potential threat to its territorial integrity, particularly regarding the strategic port of Assab.
自1993年厄立特里亚独立以来，埃塞俄比亚一直是内陆国家，埃塞俄比亚多次表示，获得海洋通道对其经济发展至关重要。
Landlocked since Eritrea gained independence in 1993, Ethiopia has repeatedly described maritime access as essential to its economic development.
两国曾在1998年至2000年爆发边境战争，2018年恢复外交关系。厄立特里亚军队后来在2020年至2022年的提格雷战争中支持埃塞俄比亚联邦政府，但 Pretoria 和平协议签署后，双方关系恶化。
The two countries fought a border war from 1998 to 2000 before restoring diplomatic relations in 2018. Eritrean troops later supported Ethiopia's federal government during the 2020-2022 Tigray war, but relations deteriorated after the Pretoria peace agreement.
新一轮的军事力量集结威胁着破坏该协议，并引发担忧：埃塞俄比亚境内的战斗可能蔓延至边境以外。
The renewed military buildup threatens to undermine that agreement and raises concerns that fighting inside Ethiopia could spread across the border.
