Sudan has lodged a complaint against Ethiopia with both the United Nations Security Council and the African Union\u2019s Peace and Security Council after a series of deadly drone attacks<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

In a statement late on Sunday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group of using Ethiopian territory to launch \u201cbrazen aggression\u201d against \u201ccivilian sites and power stations\u201d in Sudan, resulting in hundreds of casualties and disruptions to essential services.<\/p>\n

The string of incidents \u201cplaces Ethiopia before international law\u201d, the ministry added.<\/p>\n

Sudan\u2019s military has repeatedly accused Ethiopia of aiding the RSF, which it has been fighting<\/a> in a civil war since April 2023. Ethiopia, meanwhile, has accused the Sudanese military of backing rebels linked to the Tigray People\u2019s Liberation Front<\/a>, a charge Khartoum denied.<\/p>\n

The ministry\u2019s statement came alongside a report from Sudan\u2019s army-led Transitional Sovereignty Council that alleged 70 assaults from February 15 to October 27 involving 187 one-way attack drones.<\/p>\n

The attacks killed or wounded 484 civilians and killed 176 Sudanese soldiers, the report said, with another 200 soldiers wounded.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince February 2026, armed drones have taken off from Ethiopian soil \u2026 to strike Sudanese cities and civilians,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

The report identified launch sites at Asosa Airport in western Ethiopia, the Kurmuk-Gizen border area and Bahir Dar airbase in northwestern Ethiopia\u2019s Amhara region.<\/p>\n

Last month saw 28 attacks carried out by 97 drones, the report said.<\/p>\n

It cited an October 9 attack on displaced families<\/a> in Wad el-Mahi, located in Sudan\u2019s Blue Nile region near the Ethiopian border, which it said killed 30 civilians \u2013 26 women and four children \u2013 and wounded 100.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Saturday that he was \u201cappalled\u201d by the impact of drone strikes in Sudan, days after another strike on a market in RSF-controlled territory in Darfur killed more than 100 people<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The secretary-general \u201cstrongly condemns the escalating drone attacks in Sudan by the parties to the conflict and the catastrophic toll these attacks are inflicting on civilians\u201d, the spokesman said, adding that the strikes constitute violations of international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
