New explosions sounded for the third day in a row this Tuesday, May 6 in Port-Soudan, a city which houses the provisional seat of the Sudanese government. A drone attack was launched in this city by the paramilitaries of the rapid support forces (FSR), at war with the army since April 2023.

Suspended flights
Port-Soudan airport interrupted its traffic on Tuesday following a drone strike, an airport representative said. “”The drone was targeting the airport civil party“, Specified this representative under the cover of anonymity. On Sunday, the military part of the airport was targeted by an attack by drone which had already led to the suspension of theft, the army accusing the paramilitaries of the rapid support forces (FSR).
Sudan is in the grip of a fight for power between the army chief, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhane, and his former deputy, General Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, at the head of the paramilitaries of the FSR. The latter, who have lost several positions in recent months, are increasingly using drones to strike in depth in the areas controlled by the troops of General Al-Burhane.
