Drones Target Al-Faw and Al-Hawata Power Stations, Disrupting Eastern Grid

In the early hours of Monday morning, drones attacked the Al-Faw and Al-Hawata power stations in Gedarif State, eastern Sudan, causing the eastern electricity grid to go offline and resulting in a complete blackout starting at 2:00 AM.

Civil Defense forces in the Al-Faw and Al-Hawata localities rushed to the scene immediately after the attack. They were able to extinguish the fires and secure the stations.

Informed sources confirmed that there were no casualties as a result of the attack. The targeting of the two stations caused a power outage in areas connected to the eastern grid.

This attack comes amidst an escalation in militia attacks targeting infrastructure and vital facilities, which exacerbates the suffering of citizens and threatens the stability of electricity supplies in the eastern states.
