Sudan Army Intercepts Three Drones Over Eastern States


(MENAFN) Sudanese army air defenses intercepted and destroyed three drones over eastern parts of the country on Tuesday, according to reports, as the military continues operations amid the ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The drones were brought down in two separate areas, with the incidents reported in the Al-Fashaga area of Gedaref state and Khashm al-Girba in Kassala state. The aircraft were described as belonging to the “enemy,” although no details were provided regarding the party responsible for operating them.

There were also no immediate reports indicating that the drone interceptions caused casualties or damage to property. The incidents add to security concerns in eastern Sudan as the army seeks to maintain control over areas away from some of the conflict’s main battlefronts.

Sudan has been caught in a devastating conflict between the army and the RSF since April 2023. Years of fighting have killed thousands of people and displaced millions, while the prolonged violence has continued to create severe security and humanitarian challenges across the country.
