Port Sudan: Sudans paramilitary unleashed drones on the Red Sea city of Port Sudan, hitting key targets there, including the airport, the port, and a hotel, military officials said. The barrage was the second such attack this week on a city that had been a hub for people fleeing Sudans two-year war.
According to France24.com, the drone strikes have created a significant disruption in Port Sudan, causing power outages and affecting the daily lives of residents. The attack underscores the escalating tensions in the region, as Port Sudan had been considered relatively safe compared to other parts of the country amidst ongoing conflicts.
Military officials reported that the strategic targets were specifically chosen to maximize the impact on the city’s infrastructure. The airport and port are crucial for the movement of goods and people, while the hotel had been a temporary refuge for those displaced by the conflict.
The recent attacks have raised concerns over the safety of civilians and the ability of the c
ity to continue serving as a safe haven for those affected by the ongoing war in Sudan. The situation remains tense, with residents and officials urging for an immediate resolution to the conflict.
