Sudan accused Ethiopian forces of entering its territory, escalating a dispute over land that straddles their border.

“Sudan strongly condemns the aggression carried out by Ethiopia, in which its forces entered into territories that legally belong to Sudan,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement Sunday. It described the incident as “a direct violation” of Sudanese sovereignty.
