In Ethiopia, government troops have intervened in ethnic fighting in south of the country involving the Borana and Garri communities in the Moyale area.
The clashes are thought to have been sparked by disputes over land rights. At least 18 people died and 12 others injured.
Over 20,000 people are reported to have crossed into Kenya to escape the fighting.
Local reports speak of armed militias taking up positions in outlying villages on Wednesday, with the fighting spreading to Moyale town, on the Ethiopia-Kenya border, on Thursday.
