Multiple explosions Rock Port Sudan as RSF Target Key City

The explosions were heard in the Sudanese city of Port as a paramilitary force targeting the effective capital of the country -led government on the third day in a row.

The thick black smoke can be seen at dawn on the horizon of the previous safe city, as thousands of people resorted to the civil war for two years.

The flights were canceled after the international airport drones and a hotel near the current presidential palace were struck.

“I see a huge cloud and fire walking throughout the city … and I have now heard that they were like two loud bangs. It seems completely horrific,” Kristina Carrier told BBC New Zeraz.

One of the drones at the Port Sudan Airport and the last of the main army base in the city center targeted.

A third drone struck a “fuel depot near the southern port”, in the densely populated city center, where United Nations officials, diplomats, relief agencies and Sudan army moved from the capital Khartoum.

The witness said that a main hotel located near the residence of the army commander, General Abdul Fattah Al -Bouran, was beaten in the attack.

The army blamed the semi -military support forces (RSF) for the drones attacks that started on Sunday. RSF has not yet commented on the attacks.

in statementThe African Union has warned that the attack on Port Sudan represents a “serious escalation” in the Sudanese civil war and “a direct threat to the lives of civilians, human access and regional stability.”

Before the attacks on Sunday, Port Sudan avoided bombing and considered one of the safest places in the nation that destroyed the war.

The paramilitary group has increasingly relied on drones to restore its missing lands, including Khartoum, which was returned by the army in March.

Two years of fighting were killed between the army and the RSF thousands, they forced millions of their homes and created the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.

The army and RSF were accused of war crimes.
