Port Sudan, previously a refuge during Sudan's civil war, has now become a target of drone strikes by the Rapid Support Forces for three consecutive days. These attacks have led to grounded flights and local power outages, marking a significant shift in the conflict dynamics as the RSF targets civilian infrastructures. As humanitarian crises worsen, with estimates indicating up to 150,000 deaths and 15 million displaced, the strikes have escalated concerns for the de-facto capital, further straining the situation since the onset of the war in April 2023.
The recent drone strikes on Port Sudan, once a safe haven during the civil war, mark the first assaults on this temporary capital, leading to significant local impact.
With continuous drone attacks targeting civilian infrastructure and military facilities, the situation in Port Sudan deteriorates, causing flights to be grounded and residents left in fear.
