Sudan’s army-aligned government has accused Ethiopia of involvement in recent drone strikes, saying attacks launched “from inside Ethiopian territory” targeted sites in Sudan in February and March. In a statement on Monday, Sudan’s foreign ministry warned Ethiopian authorities of what it called the consequences of these “hostile acts,” describing the incidents as “clear aggression.” The statement did not specify who carried out the attacks, how many occurred, or which locations were hit. It marks the first time Khartoum has officially accused Ethiopia of interference in Sudan’s nearly three-year-long war between the regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Sudanese officials have also accused the United Arab Emirates of increasing arms shipments via Ethiopia to the RSF since late 2025, allegations Abu Dhabi denies. Amid fears of regional spillover, Chad has closed its border with Sudan.
