SUDAN’S paramilitary unleashed drones on the Red Sea city of Port Sudan early today, hitting key targets there, including the airport, the port and a hotel, military officials said. 

The barrage was the second such attack this week on a city that had been a hub for people fleeing Sudan’s two-year war.

There was no immediate word on any casualties or the extent of the damage. Local media reported loud sounds of explosions and fires at the port and the airport. Footage circulating online showed thick smoke rising over the area.
