DUBAI (Reuters) - British maritime security firm Ambrey reported on Tuesday that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) had launched a drone attack on facilities at Port Sudan, targeting the container terminal and escalating a two-year-long conflict.

Sudanese military officials say paramilitary fighters unleashed drones on the Red Sea city of Port Sudan, hitting key targets there, including the airport, the port and a hotel.

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces launched a second drone strike in as many days on Port Sudan, targeting fuel depots in the eastern city early on Monday, security sources told Reuters, in a major escalation of a two-year-long conflict.
