In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Statement

Port Sudan was subjected to a treacherous attack this morning, Sunday, May 4, 2025, by the criminal Rapid Support Forces militia, with the support of its supporters.
Seven suicide drones were used in the attack, providing cover for an attack carried out by another strategic aircraft on Othman Digna Air Base, resulting in material damage but no casualties.
The Air Defense Forces were able to intercept and successfully neutralize all of the suicide drones, while the strategic aircraft struck one of the gables inside the airbase.
This attack confirms, beyond any doubt, that this war is not merely a rebellion by the Rapid Support Forces militia, but rather a full-fledged aggression directed and supported by the United Arab Emirates.
Supplying this militia with advanced drones operated from control rooms in Abu Dhabi not only poses a threat to Sudanese national security, but also poses a grave danger to regional and international security, and requires urgent and serious action to address such violations.
