The Sudanese army said on Monday it had destroyed an Emirati cargo plane supplying the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Nyala, South Darfur, on Saturday. The army said in a statement that its air force had conducted a series of strikes on RSF positions in Nyala, including the airport, which it said the RSF had been using to receive weapons and evacuate wounded fighters. “The air force succeeded… in striking an Emirati cargo plane as it was taking off from Nyala airport, leading to its crash,” the statement said. The army also said it had destroyed drones west of Nyala and killed foreign nationals who were on the roof of a building near Nyala Technical College. Reuters could not independently verify the army’s account. In a short statement, the RSF accused the army of targeting civilians in Nyala with barrel bombs, resulting in numerous casualties.
