Summary
In Sudan’s wartime capital, Port Sudan, large plumes of smoke emerged as the Rapid Support Forces (R.S.F.) conducted drone attacks targeting civilian sites, including the airport and a hospital, amidst escalating tensions in the civil conflict that has already claimed around 15,000 lives. Eyewitnesses reported attacks on key facilities, including the Marina Hotel, while the government condemned the R.S.F. for its “criminal and terrorist” actions. Civilians, having fled violence from Khartoum, are increasingly alarmed as the fighting disrupts humanitarian efforts and threatens regional stability.
