Five Power Stations Hit in Drone Attack Across Three Army-Controlled States

A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces launched a coordinated drone attack against five power stations.

The official said the drone attack caused mass power outages across eastern Sudan, and that drones hit two power stations in Al-Jazira state, two in Gedaref and one in White Nile; the three affected states are controlled by the Sudanese army. The official said the strikes were “resulting in power outages across large parts of these three states.”

For national-sovereignty voters, the reported attack on five stations across three army-controlled states is a blunt reminder of what ordinary citizens pay when essential infrastructure is vulnerable. Critics of officialdom will note the account rests on one unnamed government official, even as the official’s description of five stations across three states is specific.
