The head of the Sudanese military, General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, said this showed how the army was protecting the country after last week’s coup attempt.
In its statement, Sudan said the incident happened in the district of Umm Barakit.
Ethiopia’s military has however denied the allegation by the Sudanese government.
Umm Barakit sits within the disputed al-Fashaga border region, where there has been increased tension.
