UN warns drone attacks threaten Sudan’s electricity infrastructure

UN humanitarian officials warned that drone attacks were damaging Sudan’s civilian infrastructure, QNA reported on 28 October. They described Tuesday’s strike on a substation serving Khartoum after Monday’s attacks on facilities in Gezira, Sennar and Gedaref.

Local authorities reported severe damage threatening network stability. Power facilities connect to wider service networks, so consequences may extend beyond a strike site. The report nevertheless supplied neither a verified count of disconnected customers nor a repair timetable; the warning should not become an invented outage total.
