Sudan’s army said its opponents used drones to strike a military airbase and other locations in Port Sudan, the first apparent attacks of that kind on the Red Sea city in the two-year civil war.

Some of the strikes using so-called suicide drones caused “limited damage,” including hitting an ammunition depot at the base, the military said in a statement on Sunday. It reported no casualties, and said anti-aircraft weapons repelled other assaults.
