US EditionPort Sudan Endures Third Day of Drone Strikes in Escalating Civil War
- On Tuesday morning, Port Sudan experienced drone strikes targeting its port, airport, and military bases in Sudan's eastern Red Sea city.
- The attacks are a result of the ongoing conflict that began in April 2023 between Sudan’s military forces and the Rapid Support Forces, a powerful paramilitary group.
- The strikes caused fires at fuel storage and power stations, leading to a citywide blackout and halting air traffic, while civilian teams worked to control the damage.
- Sudan's information minister accused the UAE of supplying drones to the RSF, while the UAE denied involvement and condemned attacks on civilian facilities.
- These attacks mark a dangerous escalation by the RSF in a conflict that has displaced over 13 million and threatens critical humanitarian operations through Port Sudan.
