Sudan recalled its ambassador to neighboring Ethiopia on Tuesday after it accused Addis Ababa and Abu Dhabi of involvement in a drone attack on Khartoum airport.

Foreign Minister Mohieddin Salem said during a press conference in Khartoum that Sudan had "recalled its ambassador to Ethiopia for consultations over the Emirati-Ethiopian drone aggression targeting Khartoum airport."

"Khartoum airport is a civilian facility and targeting it is prohibited under international law," he said.

Salem said there was "conclusive evidence" that the attack was launched from Ethiopian territory, adding that Ethiopia "should be a sister country."

He added that messages had been sent to both Ethiopia and the UAE regarding the incident, without providing details.
