Unconfirmed media reports are quoting a statement by the Sudanese Armed Forces that they attacked Nyala Airport (UYL/HSNN), which is controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The attack was aimed at an emirati owned aircraft that was supposedly involved in flying Colombian mercenaries to Nyala.
So far, no photographic evidence of the supposed attack has been shared. The UAE denied the destruction of the plane.
