KHARTOUM – Sudan’s de facto Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, under the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) government based in Port Sudan, said on Tuesday that drone strikes by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted critical energy infrastructure in Khartoum.
According to the ministry, the September 9 attacks struck control centers, meters, LPG tanks, and fuel lines connected to the Qarry 3 power station. The refinery, known locally as Al-Jaili refinery, was also hit in the morning by loitering munitions drones. A similar strike damaged the Al-Merkhiyat power station north of the capital.

In its statement, seen by Sudans Post, the ministry said the attacks came as technical teams were carrying out maintenance to ensure “the continuity of electricity and fuel supplies to residents of Khartoum state.”
