Port Sudan, Sudan: A series of drone attacks targeted the Sudanese capital Khartoum for multiple hours on Wednesday, eyewitnesses and an army source told AFP.

A military official said the army had shot down “most of the drones,” which targeted two army bases in the capital’s northwest.

Sudan’s army has been at war since April 2023 with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, who have regularly attacked army positions using drones.

The war has killed tens of thousands of people and created the world’s largest hunger and displacement crises.

The capital has been mostly calm since the army regained control earlier this year, with fighting for territory now concentrated in the country’s south and west.
