Khartoum: The Sudanese army on Saturday accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of carrying out a drone attack on the Al-Tina army base in Chad, killing two Chadian soldiers.

In a statement, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) General Command said it had followed "the targeting of the Al-Tina garrison inside sisterly Chad by a drone belonging to the militia," expressing condolences to the Chadian leadership, people, and the victims' families.

The statement stressed that the Al-Tina area inside Sudan is "under full control of the SAF," with civil and security institutions operating regularly, adding that "no hostile activity toward neighboring countries has been recorded from this area."

It added that the RSF "has repeatedly used drones to carry out cross-border hostile acts," which it described as an attempt to create tensions between Sudan and neighboring states.

Two Chadian soldiers were killed and another seriously injured in a drone attack that targeted a military camp near the border with Sudan on Friday morning.
