Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan had been attending a ceremony near Port Sudan.
Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, Sudan's army chief, was the target of a drone attack that killed five people, officials said Wednesday.
In April 2023, a civil conflict broke out between the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group following months of tensions linked to a planned transition to civilian rule. The conflict has led to at least 16,000 deaths, according to the United Nations. Local groups, however, warn the true toll is likely much higher.
