Sudan's ambassador to the United Nations has accused the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of orchestrating drone attacks on Port Sudan on May 4, 2025. The ambassador stated that these attacks were launched from an Emirati base in the Red Sea and were carried out as retaliation for the death of "Emirati elements" in a Sudanese army airstrike on Nyala on May 3. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have reportedly seized dozens of modified drones, initially designed for agricultural use but allegedly weaponized in the UAE and used by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to target civilians in Sudan. The UAE has denied the accusations, calling them unfounded and condemning the attack on Port Sudan. This development highlights ongoing tensions between Sudan and the UAE amid the broader conflict involving Sudanese factions and regional actors.
