British maritime security firm Ambrey reported on Tuesday that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) had launched a drone attack on facilities at Port Sudan, targeting the container terminal and escalating a two-year-long conflict.

The eastern Sudanese city of Port Sudan on Thursday morning faced a fresh drone attack for the fifth consecutive day amid raging fighting between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Sudanese military officials say paramilitary fighters unleashed drones on the Red Sea city of Port Sudan, hitting key targets there, including the airport, the port and a hotel.
