Sudanese military officials say paramilitary fighters unleashed drones on the Red Sea city of Port Sudan, hitting key targets there, including the airport, the port and a hotel.

The strikes targeted an airport, a warehouse and several civilian facilities in the eastern city of Port Sudan, the army said.

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have recently intensified drone attacks on areas controlled by the Sudanese army, a development that military experts regard as a dangerous escalation in their ongoing conflict.
