KHARTOUM – Sudan has filed formal complaints against Ethiopia with the U.N. Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council, accusing its eastern neighbour of allowing drone attacks against Sudan to be launched from Ethiopian territory.

The Foreign Ministry said the complaints included documents it says show that the Rapid Support Forces used Ethiopian territory to launch one-way attack drones and missile-equipped aircraft against civilian facilities and critical infrastructure in several Sudanese states.

The ministry said the attacks had caused civilian casualties, damaged electricity infrastructure and disrupted essential services.

Sudan described the alleged use of Ethiopian territory for the attacks as a hostile act and said Ethiopia could bear international responsibility.

Khartoum cited Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter, which prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of another state.

The allegations have not been independently verified.

Ethiopia has previously denied Sudanese accusations that its territory is being used to support attacks by the RSF.

The complaint follows the release of a Sudanese government report documenting what authorities say were 70 drone attacks launched from Ethiopian territory between Feb. 15 and Oct. 27.

The report said the attacks involved 187 one-way attack drones and 82 munitions fired by strategic drones and killed or wounded 484 civilians.

Sudanese authorities say recovered flight-control data, drone wreckage, reconstructed routes and other technical evidence point to launch areas including Asosa, Bahir Dar and the Kurmuk-Gizen border region.

Sudan has offered to submit recovered equipment and original flight data for independent examination under U.N. or African Union auspices.

New Strikes Hit Kassala Power Stations

The diplomatic escalation comes as drone attacks on Sudan’s electricity network continue.

Drones struck power substations in New Halfa and Aroma in eastern Kassala State early Monday, causing widespread electricity outages.

The attacks followed strikes on Abu Hamad in River Nile State and Al-Dabba in Northern State a day earlier.

Electricity facilities across Khartoum, Gezira, Sennar, Gedaref, White Nile, Red Sea and other states have also been hit during the recent wave of attacks.

Sudanese authorities and local groups have attributed many of the strikes to the RSF.

The RSF has not publicly claimed responsibility for the latest attacks.

Sudan urged Ethiopia to halt what it described as hostile activity and called on the international community to hold those responsible for the drone campaign accountable.

The growing dispute risks further straining relations between Sudan and Ethiopia as long-range drone warfare increasingly expands beyond Sudan’s conventional front lines and targets infrastructure essential to civilian life.
