Deadly attack hits Darfur displacement camps
Sudan’s paramilitary force has stormed displacement camps in Darfur, leaving scores dead or wounded.
The Sudanese army confirmed on Sunday that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) conducted a drone attack targeting a military airbase and several other facilities near Port Sudan Airport.
This marks the first RSF assault to reach the strategic eastern port city since the outbreak of the civil conflict.
According to a statement by the army spokesperson, the attack involved drones striking military infrastructure in the vicinity of the airport, which has remained under government control and has been a critical logistical hub during the ongoing war.
Port Sudan, located on the Red Sea, has served as a key base for Sudan’s internationally recognized government following the RSF’s seizure of major parts of the capital, Khartoum, and other central regions. The attack signals a significant geographic expansion in RSF operations and raises new concerns about the widening scope of the conflict.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or the extent of damage from the strikes. The army said it is assessing the situation and vowed to respond to any further threats in the region.
The RSF has not issued an official statement on the attack as of Sunday evening.
The drone strike underscores the escalating capabilities of the RSF and further complicates international efforts to broker a ceasefire in a war that has killed thousands and displaced millions since erupting in April 2023.
