US EditionPort Sudan Endures Third Day of Drone Strikes in Escalating Civil War

- The attacks followed a two-year conflict between Sudan's military and the RSF, with Port Sudan previously serving as a safe haven and humanitarian hub.
- The strikes caused fires, blackouts, and flight cancellations, with key sites hit including a military ammunition warehouse and fuel depots near the city center.
- Military officials blamed the RSF for the third consecutive day of attacks, while the RSF has not claimed responsibility; UN chief Guterres called the attacks a "worrying development".
- The renewed assaults on Port Sudan threaten civilian protection and disrupt critical humanitarian aid delivery amid Sudan’s ongoing war, which has displaced 13 million people.
