Explosions hit Port Sudan for fourth day, threatening vital aid lifeline
EXPLOSIONS rocked the Port of Sudan, a critical lifeline and entry point for aid, for a fourth consecutive day amid the ongoing war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The Sudanese army and residents have blamed the latest assault on the RSF, which has been in a brutal civil conflict with the SAF since 2023.
An army source, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said the blast was caused by a drone strike that was countered with anti-aircraft missiles.
