PORT SUDAN: A wave of drone strikes hit a power station, a weapons factory and an oil refinery near Sudan’s army-held capital today, witnesses at the sites told AFP, while a military source said an air base had also been targeted.
The aerial assault ended a period of relative calm in Khartoum after the military ousted the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces from the area in May, a key battleground in the war that erupted in 2023.
The attacks occurred at around 5am, with witnesses telling AFP by phone, on condition of anonymity, that they had seen strikes hit the Al-Jaili oil refinery, the Al-Markhiyat substation in Omdurman and the Yarmuk weapons factory.
The military source, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the strike on Wadi Seidna air base had been intercepted.
