PORT SUDAN: A wave of paramilitary drone strikes hit key infrastructure and military targets in and around Sudan’s army-held capital Tuesday, bringing to an abrupt end a period of relative calm in the area.
The strikes hit a power station, a weapons factory and an oil refinery near Khartoum, witnesses at the sites said on condition of anonymity, while a military source said an air base had also been targeted.
The Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) Tasis administration later said the paramilitaries had launched “precise and successful air strikes” in Khartoum and other areas.
The Tasis administration has declared itself the government in territory held by the RSF, at war with Sudan’s regular army since April 2023.
The assault came months after the military recaptured the capital in March, and as the army-backed government pressed a major reconstruction bid.
