Sudan claimed an Ethiopian military plane breached its border, raising tensions between the two African neighbors that are embroiled in a territorial dispute.
The move is a “dangerous and unjustified” escalation, Sudan’s Foreign Ministry said Wednesday in a statement on Twitter. Ethiopia’s army spokesman and the office of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed didn’t answer calls seeking comment.
