Ethiopia has claimed to have killed more than 110 rebels allegedly sent by arch-foe Horn of Africa neighbour Eritrea to destabilize the country since the beginning of the month.

The allegation from the defense ministry in Addis Ababa was immediately denied by Asmara, but appeared certain to ratchet up already heightened tensions between the rivals, who are still feuding over a peace deal that ended their bloody two-year border war in 2000.

The ministry said Ethiopian security forces had killed 111, wounded 18 and captured 107 “anti-peace forces”operating on Asmara’s behalf in northern Ethiopia’s Amhara state since early June.
