Drone strikes hit a fuel depot, airport and a hotel in Port Sudan, bringing violence to a city that had so far been spared in the devastating civil war.

Drones struck the airport and targeted an army base in Port Sudan on Tuesday, officials said, the third straight day the Sudanese army-aligned government's seat of power has come under attack. One drone struck "the civilian section of the Port Sudan airport",

A series of drone attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces rocked Sudan's wartime capital on Tuesday, igniting enormous fires and causing a blackout in the Red Sea city now at the centre of the two-year civil war between government troops and the Rapid Support Forces.
