UAE denies involvement in Sudan airport attack

The United Arab Emirates denied allegations by Sudan that an Emirati drone had been used in an attack on Khartoum airport on Monday launched from Ethiopia, according to a statement by a UAE official late on Tuesday.

Sudan has long accused the UAE of backing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which have been fighting the Sudanese army in a three-year-old civil war that has devastated the country. The Gulf state has denied this and said it seeks an end to the conflict, one of the world's deadliest.

Late on Monday, ⁠Sudan's army spokesman alleged an escalation in UAE support, broadcasting images and flight paths he said showed Emirati-owned drones that had taken off from Ethiopia's Bahir Dar airport and struck several locations in Sudan in March and May. Reuters was not able to independently verify the information.

Sudanese officials also said they were prepared to respond to the alleged violation.
