ALBAWABA - The Sudanese army foiled drones flying over Port Sudan with anti-aircraft missiles on Saturday, according to eyewitnesses.
Last month, Port Sudan, the seat of the military-backed government, was subjected to its first drone attack, blamed on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, generally referred to as Hemedti.
The drone strikes targeted infrastructure, including the country's last functioning international civilian airport, power plants, and fuel depots.
The almost daily strikes had ceased for more than a week until Saturday, when eyewitnesses told AFP they heard "the sound of anti-aircraft missiles north and west of the city and drones flying overhead."
