Ethiopia attacked an Eritrean military base on Thursday in response to the killing earlier this year of five European tourists in Ethiopia's Afar region, a government spokesman said.

"Early this morning Ethiopian defence forces attacked a military post inside Eritrea ..." spokesman Shimeles Kemal told reporters, accusing Eritrea of using the base to train and arm "hit-and-run terrorists".
