Ethiopian forces infiltrated a Sudanese border region in February to deliver weapons and ammunition to a rebel group that has for years fought Sudan’s security forces, military officials in Khartoum said.
The officials said the delivery took place in the Yaboos area near the border town of Kurmuk in the restive Blue Nile region.
A senior delegation from the Sudanese military will visit the area this week to assess the situation, they said.
Quoting intelligence gathered in the region, officials said the Ethiopians wanted the rebels to use the arms and ammunition to capture Kurmuk from Sudanese forces.
