CAIRO — Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces launched a drone attack Sunday targeting a military airbase and civilian facilities in the coastal city of Port Sudan, the military said.
No casualties were reported in what is the first known attack by the Rapid Support Forces on the Red Sea city. Port Sudan has served as an interim seat for the government since the war between the military and the RSF paramilitary group started more than two years ago.
Brig. Gen. Nabil Abdullah, a spokesman for the Sudanese military, said RSF drones hit an ammunition warehouse in the Osman Digna airbase, causing explosions. The attack also hit a cargo warehouse and civilian installations, he said in a statement.
The attack briefly halted air traffic at Port Sudan’s airport, according to the Sudanese civil aviation authority.
The city’s airport has been the country’s entry point since the RSF occupied the Khartoum international airport at the start of the war. The military retook the capital’s airport earlier this year.
There was no immediate comment from the RSF.
