Sudan’s RSF conducts first drone attack on Port Sudan, army spokesperson says

  • Sudan's Rapid Support Forces conducted a drone strike on Sunday targeting a military air base along with additional sites near the Port Sudan Airport, located in the eastern port city.
  • The attack marks the first RSF strike to reach Port Sudan amid a two-year conflict between the RSF and the army that began in April 2023 over a power struggle ahead of civilian rule transition.
  • The RSF had previously focused drone strikes on power stations in central and northern areas controlled by the army, but this new strike indicates an expansion in attack scope and frequency.
  • Army spokesperson Nabil Abdullah stated that no injuries occurred and the damage was minor after five drones struck Osman Digna Air Base, a warehouse for goods, and several civilian locations.
  • This attack may signal a major shift in the conflict, which has uprooted more than 12 million people, caused acute hunger for half the population, and is deemed the world's worst humanitarian crisis by the UN.
