Sudan paramilitary attacks leave key city without powerWatch: Smoke and flames at Port Sudan following paramilitary attack"I see a huge cloud and fire going like all around the city... and I heard also now that they were like two more loud bangs.
Drone strikes have hit a major power station in the Sudanese city of Port Sudan causing a "complete power outage", the country's electricity provider said.
Mariam Atta, a nutritional supervisor at a children's hospital in Port Sudan, described the moment she first heard the attacks.
As long as there's an intention to target Port Sudan and vital areas, and to intimidate civilians, these attacks will continue."
Prior to the attacks on Sunday, Port Sudan had avoided bombardment and was regarded as one of the safest places in the war-ravaged nation.
