The Battle of Massawa (Operation Fenkil) took place in February 1990 in and
around the coastal city of Massawa, Eritrea. This offensive was also dubbed
the Fenkil Offensive and was conducted by both land and sea by the Eritrean
People's Liberation Front (EPLF) against the Ethiopian Derg Army. During
this battle EPLF used its small fleet of armed speedboats to sink or cripple
most Ethiopian navy ships anchored in and around Massawa harbor.
