Sudan Accuses Ethiopia of Drone Strikes from Territory. Khartoum, Sudan — The Sudanese government has formally accused Ethiopia of launching drone strikes on Sudanese soil, stating that the attacks originated “from inside Ethiopian territory.”
The Sudanese foreign ministry issued a warning to Ethiopian authorities on Monday, describing the incidents as “clear aggression “and emphasizing the consequences of such actions.
According to official statements, the drone attacks, which reportedly occurred in February and March, targeted various sites within Sudan. This is the first time that Sudan has officially blamed Ethiopia for interference in the country’s ongoing conflict, which has been raging for nearly three years.
The conflict involves the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and has increasingly drawn in regional and international actors.
The Sudanese government’s communiqué did not provide specifics about the number of attacks, the exact targets hit, or the individuals responsible.
However, the statement marks a significant escalation in tensions between Sudan and Ethiopia, which share a long and complex border. At a recent UN Security Council meeting, British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper highlighted the absence of a ceasefire in Sudan, attributing it to military leaders’belief in the possibility of victory, which has led to the continued acquisition of more lethal weapons.
Sudanese officials have also accused the United Arab Emirates of increasing arms shipments to the RSF via Ethiopia since late 2025, allegations that Abu Dhabi denies.
Meanwhile, Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al — Burhan is backed by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk has warned that civilian killings have more than doubled this year, describing the war as “bloody and senseless “and fueled by foreign sponsors.
In response to the conflict’s regional implications, Chad has closed its border with Sudan.
The lack of detailed information in the Sudanese statement may raise questions about the evidence supporting the accusation. At this time, Ethiopian authorities have not released an official response to the allegations.
Further details are expected as the situation develops.
