The presence of Ethiopian troops in the Puntland state town of Galcaio is "absolutely confirmed without a doubt," the sources told CNN.
Galcaio is the hometown of former Puntland President Abdullahi Yousef, generally regarded to have diplomatic backing from Ethiopia, the region's largest power.
Yousef's rival, Jama Ali Jama, was sworn in as Puntland's new president November 14, after the former Yousef's three-year term in office expired.
