Drone attack targets Sudan's naval base

Cape Argus

May 09, 2025

A DRONE strike targeted Sudan's biggest naval base this week, an army source said, marking the fourth straight day the seat of the army-backed government has come under attack.

It comes a day after the government severed ties with the United Arab Emirates, which it accuses of supplying rival paramilitaries with weapons used to attack the army.

Port Sudan on the Red Sea coast had been a safe haven, hosting hundreds of thousands of displaced people and UN offices, until Sunday when drone strikes blamed on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries began.

The drone strikes “were met with anti-aircraft missiles”, the army source said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media.

A correspondent reported a series of explosions from the direction of the Flamingo Base, just north of the city.

Later Wednesday, residents reported air defences in action against drones circling above the city.

War has raged since April 2023 between Sudan's regular armed forces and the RSF, which the army-backed government has called a “proxy” of the UAE.
