Sudan Dark Gulita After RSF Forces Drone Hit Power Plant

JAKARTA - Major cities in Sudan, including the capital Khartoum and Port Sudan, were plunged into darkness on Thursday, December 18.

Local state electricity officials said the drone of the paramilitary rapid support force (RSF) was behind this situation.

"Two members of the civil defense army were killed while trying to put out a fire that broke out after the first drone attack by the militia," he said on Thursday 18 December, quoted by AFP.

The official added that rescue workers were hit by a second drone attack and were being treated for injuries.

The blackout in major cities in Sudan occurred after a drone targeted a major power plant in eastern Sudan.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing flames and smoke billowing in the city of Atbara in the Nile State, which is controlled by the army of rival forces of the paramilitary RSF in the country's still raging civil war.
