Total blackout after drone strikes, fire in Sudanese city of Port Sudan

May 07, 2025

Khartoum [Sudan], May 7: Multiple explosions have been heard and a huge fire has erupted in Port Sudan, as the war between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) rocks the previously quiet city for a third day.
Dark plumes of smoke could be seen on Tuesday emerging from the vicinity of the country's main maritime port following the attacks on the city, a major hub for the army and the place where hundreds of thousands of displaced people have sought refuge during the two-year conflict.
Al Jazeera's Hiba Morgan, reporting from the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, said residents in the port city reported that attack drones launched by the RSF hit multiple locations, including a fuel depot, Port Sudan International Airport, a power station and a hotel. (Agencies)
