Sudan’s ongoing conflict has escalated dramatically as the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched a drone attack on a military air base near Port Sudan Airport. This marks a significant development in the two-year struggle between the RSF and the Sudanese army, with the attack occurring on 2025-05-04 10:53:00.
- RSF drone attack on Port Sudan Airport
- No casualties reported from the attacks
- RSF has not commented on the incident
- Shift in conflict affects eastern regions
- Army increases security around vital facilities
- Humanitarian crisis worsens amid ongoing conflict
While no casualties were reported, the RSF’s ability to strike Port Sudan, a region previously considered safe, raises concerns about the widening impact of the conflict. The RSF has previously targeted military installations in central and northern Sudan but had not reached the eastern port city until now.
This latest attack prompts critical questions about the future of peace in Sudan. Can the Sudanese army regain control, or will the RSF continue to expand its reach?
- Port Sudan is home to vital military and civilian infrastructure.
- The conflict has led to severe humanitarian crises, with millions displaced.
- International observers are increasingly concerned about regional stability.
As the conflict intensifies, global attention is crucial. Will international efforts to mediate and provide humanitarian aid be enough to alleviate the suffering?
