The Battle of Togoruba took place on 15 March 1964, and was the first battle of the Eritrean War of Independence which involved the Ethiopian military instead of a police unit. While both sides claimed types of success—the insurgents for their political endurance and the government for tactical dominance—historical consensus confirms the Ethiopian army decisively won the battlefield engagement.
