A diplomatic source reported clashes in a similar area between the two towns, while a humanitarian source said that "intense fighting" was taking place in the Zobel mountains, south east of Kobo. The authorities in Woldiya have imposed a curfew prohibiting residents from moving between 19:00 and 06:00 local time and vehicles from 18:00. This displaced person also saw ambulances carrying wounded soldiers and members of the Amhara regional forces and the Amhara Fano militia, both of which support the federal army. He estimates that several thousand people fleeing the fighting have taken refuge in Woldiya, a town of about 100,000 people. Some are staying at the university, but "you can see many displaced people sleeping" in the town.
