Sudan’s military chief escapes drone attack ‘defiant’

Sudan’s military chief has survived a drone attack at an army graduation ceremony he was attending in the east of the country. General Abdel-Fattah Burhan escaped unhurt and defiant, but five people were killed.

His paramilitary rivals the Rapid Support Forces have denied being behind the assassination attempt. The former allies have been at war since April last year – driving more than ten million people from their homes.
