Sudan army shot down seven drones in Debba
|
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudanese army said it shot down seven drones on Friday that were targeting the Debba area in the Northern state.
In recent months, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have carried out a series of drone attacks targeting power stations in several states, including the Merowe Dam and Merowe power plants in the Northern State, the al-Shouk power plant in the state of Gadaref, the Um Dabakir power plant in the White Nile State, and a power plant in northern Omdurman.
The executive director of the Debba locality in the Northern State said in a press statement that ''the army's anti-aircraft systems and jamming equipment in the locality were able to shoot down seven drones launched by the RSF without any casualties.''
He strongly condemned the RSF's targeting of the area and declared the readiness and vigilance of the armed forces and other security services to confront any emergency.
Eyewitnesses reported that since about 2:00 AM on Friday, the RSF launched a swarm of drones towards the town of Debba, about 350 kilometres (217 miles) north of Khartoum, all of which were shot down by the army.
The witnesses said that the falling drones caused loud explosions, which caused panic and fear among the citizens.
The target of the attack on Debba remains unclear. While the power plant is a possibility, Debba's strategic location on the route to El Fasher, the North Darfur capital, suggests other potential objectives.
