10月5日--援助消息人士称，埃塞俄比亚北部提格雷地区的空袭和炮击从一夜之间持续到周一早上，联邦政府与叛军之间的冲突已持续近两周，引发了人们对更广泛战斗的担忧。
Oct 5 - Airstrikes and artillery fire hit northern Ethiopia's Tigray region overnight into Monday morning, aid sources said, almost two weeks into clashes between federal government and rebel forces that have raised fears of wider fighting.
根据人道主义组织之间流传的一份公告，空袭造成提格雷首都梅克莱西北部至少17人死亡，埃塞俄比亚联邦国防军士兵周末占领了该地区。
Air attacks killed at least 17 people northwest of Tigray's capital Mekelle - which federal Ethiopian National Defence Force soldiers took over the weekend - according to a bulletin circulated among humanitarian groups.
公告补充说，政府军与忠于提格雷人民解放阵线的战士交火，提格雷人民解放阵线是该地区的主导政治力量，是旨在推翻总理阿比·艾哈迈德政府的叛军联盟的一部分。
The bulletin added that government forces exchanged artillery fire with fighters loyal to the Tigray People's Liberation Front - the region's dominant political force which is part of a rebel alliance aiming to overthrow Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government.
阿比办公室、联邦军队和蒂格雷人阵的发言人没有立即回应对这些报道发表评论的请求，路透社无法独立证实这一点。
Spokespeople for Abiy's office, the federal forces and the TPLF did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the reports, which Reuters could not confirm independently.
分析人士表示，战斗有可能升级为更广泛的冲突，埃塞俄比亚指责厄立特里亚、苏丹和埃及支持武装反对派。这三个国家均否认这一点。
Analysts say the fighting threatens to escalate into a wider conflict, with Ethiopia accusing Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt of supporting the armed opposition. All three countries have denied this.
上周，埃塞俄比亚和厄立特里亚因这些指控断绝了外交关系，曾于1998年至2000年打过边境战争。
Last week, Ethiopia and Eritrea, which fought a border war from 1998-2000, severed diplomatic ties over the allegations.
2020-2022年内战以来最严重的逃亡9月23日以来的战斗是自2020-2022年提格雷内战以来最严重的暴力升级，那场内战导致数十万人死亡。
WORST ESCALATION SINCE 2020-2022 CIVIL WAR The fighting since September 23 is the worst escalation of violence since a 2020-2022 civil war in Tigray that resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths.
在那场战争中，联邦军队在一个月内占领了梅克莱，七个月后蒂格雷人阵收复了梅克莱。
In that war, federal forces captured Mekelle within a month before the TPLF reclaimed it seven months later.
据人道主义公报称，周一上午，埃塞俄比亚军队和提格雷军队在迈采布里镇附近的特克泽河附近交火。
On Monday morning, Ethiopia's military and Tigrayan forces exchanged heavy artillery fire close to the Tekeze River near the town of Mai Tsebri, according to the humanitarian bulletin.
公报称，一夜之间，空袭在位于梅克莱西北约100公里（60英里）的阿德瓦造成至少9人死亡，在提格雷西北部的谢拉罗造成8人死亡。它没有说明是谁发动了空袭。另一名援助人员证实了阿德瓦的罢工，但没有有关伤亡的信息。
Overnight, airstrikes killed at least nine people in Adwa, which is about 100 km (60 miles) northwest of Mekelle, and eight in Sheraro in northwestern Tigray, the bulletin said. It did not say who launched the airstrikes. Another aid worker confirmed the strikes in Adwa, but did not have information about casualties.
居民表示，提格雷军队未经战斗就离开了梅克莱，日常生活正在恢复正常，商店重新开业，电话和互联网接入恢复了长达一周的中断。
In Mekelle, which Tigrayan forces left without a fight, daily life was returning to normal, with shops reopening and phone and internet access returning a week-long disruption, residents said.
美国警告埃塞俄比亚和厄立特里亚反对冲突分析人士正在密切关注埃塞俄比亚军队向北推进厄立特里亚边境的过程。
US WARNS ETHIOPIA AND ERITREA AGAINST CONFLICT Analysts are closely watching the Ethiopian military as it advances northward toward the Eritrean border.
厄立特里亚军队在2020年至2022年战争期间为埃塞俄比亚提格雷联邦政府而战，此前阿比为阿比赢得了诺贝尔和平奖。
Eritrean forces fought in support of Ethiopia's federal government in Tigray during the 2020-2022 war following a 2018 normalisation of ties between the longtime foes that won Abiy the Nobel Peace Prize.
此后，关系恶化，部分原因是内陆埃塞俄比亚公开坚称海上通道对其安全和经济至关重要。
Relations soured afterward, in part over landlocked Ethiopia's public insistence that sea access is vital for its security and economy.
厄立特里亚表示，担心埃塞俄比亚将试图武力占领其阿萨布港口。阿比表示，埃塞俄比亚打算通过和平手段确保海上通行。
Eritrea says it fears Ethiopia will try to take its Assab port by force. Abiy has said Ethiopia intends to secure sea access through peaceful means.
周六，美国国务院敦促阿斯马拉和亚的斯亚贝巴保持克制，警告冲突将危及美国与两国的合作。
On Saturday, the US State Department urged Asmara and Addis Ababa to exercise restraint, warning that a conflict would jeopardise US collaboration with both countries.
