**Port Sudan, Sudan –** The Sudanese army reported the first attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the eastern city of Port Sudan on Sunday. The RSF launched a drone attack targeting a military airbase, a cargo warehouse, and several civilian facilities near the city’s airport. While the extent of the damage is still being assessed, reports indicate that an ammunition depot was hit.
According to Al Jazeera, five drones were used in the attack. The proximity of the civilian and military airport sections makes it unclear whether the RSF targeted specifically military or civilian infrastructure, or both. No civilian casualties have been reported thus far. Speculation exists that the attack may have been aimed at a fighter jet showcased at an air force display the previous day. The Sudanese army is investigating the incident.
