The Sudanese army has strongly denied accusations from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that its forces bombed the residence of the UAE ambassador in Khartoum.
In an official statement, the Sudanese military asserted that it does not target diplomatic missions, UN facilities, or humanitarian organizations. Instead, the army accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by the Daqlo family, of being responsible for these “cowardly and shameful acts.”
According to the statement, the RSF receives backing from certain foreign countries, acting with impunity under international observation.
The army emphasized its commitment to international law, clarifying that it only targets RSF positions in defense of Sudan’s sovereignty and security.
The military also rejected any involvement in attacking diplomatic buildings, reaffirming its stance as a professional force upholding the principles of war.
The UAE condemned the attack on its ambassador’s residence, which it claimed was carried out by a Sudanese military aircraft.
The Emirati government announced plans to file formal complaints with the Arab League, the African Union, and the United Nations, describing the incident as a blatant violation of diplomatic immunity.
As battles continue in Khartoum, reports suggest that the Sudanese army has strengthened its control over key strategic locations in the capital.
Fighting between the army and the RSF has intensified since early Saturday, with Sudanese forces receiving reinforcements via the White Nile bridge to maintain their offensive in the heart of the city.
