Sudanese Military Intercepts Hostile Drone Crossing Border from Ethiopia
The Sudanese Armed Forces announced on May 23, 2026, that they intercepted and shot down a hostile drone that entered Sudanese airspace from Ethiopia. The incident occurred near the city of Ed Damazin in the Blue Nile region, where residents reported hearing loud explosions at dawn as air defense systems engaged the target. Khartoum has recently accused Ethiopia of supporting the Rapid Support Forces by providing runway access for drones at Bahir Dar airport, a claim Ethiopia has denied.
