Power outages in Sudan, witnesses say, after drones hit power plant
PORT SUDAN: Major cities in Sudan including capital Khartoum and Port Sudan were plunged into darkness on Thursday, several witnesses told AFP, after deadly drone strikes targeted a key power plant in the east of the country.
Witnesses reported seeing flames and smoke rising in the town of Atbara in River Nile State, which is controlled by the army in its ongoing war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
"Two members of the civil defence were killed while trying to extinguish the fire that erupted after the first drone strike by the militia," said a power plant official, referring to the RSF. The official said rescue workers were hit by a second strike and were being treated for injuries.
