Drones targeted the airport in the city of Atbara in the Nile River state of northern Sudan today, Sunday, according to what a correspondent for "Al Arabiya/Al Hadath" reported from military sources.

A swarm of drones also targeted areas on the west bank of the Nile River opposite the city.

Meanwhile, the army's anti-aircraft defenses shot down several of the attacking drones in the vicinity of Atbara airport.

The attack on the airport resulted in light to moderate injuries among military personnel, according to the sources.

In the meantime, drones from the Rapid Support Forces targeted the headquarters of the Fifth Division in Al-Obeid, North Kordofan earlier today.

The correspondent for "Al Arabiya/Al Hadath" added that the Rapid Support Forces targeted "Al-Obeid" with 4 drones.

However, he noted that the army's anti-aircraft defenses repelled the attack without any losses.

It is worth mentioning that the war that broke out in Sudan in April 2023 has claimed the lives of tens of thousands and displaced millions both inside and outside the country, leading to the spread of famine in several areas.
