Sudan has accused neighbouring Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of orchestrating drone strikes on its main airport, describing the assault as “direct aggression”.
The international airport, located in the capital, was hit on Monday, along with military installations in the Greater Khartoum area.
Recent drone strikes have shattered a period of relative calm in Khartoum, which came after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) was pushed out by the Sudanese military last year.
Ethiopia has said accusations that it was involved in the airport attack are “baseless”. The UAE has not yet commented, but has previously denied involvement in the Sudanese conflict.
Sudan has recalled its ambassador to Ethiopia for “consultations” over the attack, Foreign Minister Mohieddin Salem said.
No-one was wounded in the attack, Sudan’s information minister told the Reuters news agency.
Sudan’s army said it had “conclusive evidence” that the drones were launched from Bahir Dar airport in Ethiopia, the state-owned Sudan News Agency (Suna) reported.
Sudanese military officials first accused the RSF of air attacks launched from inside Ethiopian territory in March.
