Sudan's military government has accused Ethiopia of aiding the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in a series of drone attacks targeting civilian infrastructure, particularly electricity substations. Over the past week, 18 strikes have been reported, leading to widespread power outages. The Sudanese government has filed complaints with the UN Security Council and the African Union, alleging that these attacks are launched from Ethiopian territory. The RSF has been in conflict with the Sudanese Armed Forces since April 2023, and the drone strikes have reportedly resulted in significant civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure. A report from the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs claims that 70 assaults involving 187 drones were launched from Ethiopia between February and October 2026, with increasing frequency noted in October. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the use of drones in the conflict, highlighting the humanitarian crisis affecting millions of displaced Sudanese.
