The spokesperson for the Sudanese Armed Forces, Brigadier General Nabil Abdullah, announced on Sunday that hostile forces launched a coordinated drone attack targeting Osman Digna Air Base, a commercial warehouse, and several civilian facilities in Port Sudan.

According to the official statement, multiple suicide drones were deployed in the early hours of the morning. Sudanese air defense units successfully intercepted and shot down several of the drones, while others caused limited damage, including an impact on an ammunition storage facility within the air base. Sporadic explosions were reported, though no casualties among military personnel or civilians have been confirmed.

Journalist and media commentator Ataaf Abdel Wahab also reported on the incident via his official social media platform. He stated that the drones were believed to have been launched from the Al-‘Atrun base, located near the Libyan border, and were directed toward the town of Abu Hamed.

Abdel Wahab cited investigative findings indicating that 11 strategic drones were launched, covering a distance of approximately 1,600 kilometers. Four drones reportedly crashed in mountainous terrain, two missed their intended targets, and five returned after receiving ground-based alerts and corrected coordinates. The remaining drones struck the Osman Digna facility.

He further noted that intelligence reports confirmed the arrival of 18 foreign nationals at the Al-‘Atrun base, where they assembled the drones several days before the operation.

The Sudanese Armed Forces continue to monitor the situation and have reaffirmed their commitment to defending national infrastructure and civilian populations from future threats.
