Sudan has accused Ethiopia of launching 162 drone attacks from its territory, according to reports from All Africa (per allafrica.com). The strikes targeted civilian infrastructure and power stations, escalating regional tensions.

The conflict has prompted Sudan to step up security for Egyptian trucks entering the country, following a deadly shooting incident, as noted by Middle-East Online (per middle-east-online.com). This heightened alert reflects growing instability along border regions.

Sudan is also turning to solar power amid ongoing drone strikes on its energy grid, welcoming Qatari investment interest in renewable energy projects, according to Sudan Tribune (per sudantribune.com). The country seeks alternative energy sources to reduce vulnerability.
