The United Arab Emirates said the residence of its ambassador in Khartoum was attacked by a Sudanese military aircraft, condemning it as a "heinous attack", the foreign ministry said in a statement.

The United Arab Emirates’ foreign ministry said a Sudanese military aircraft attacked the residence of its ambassador to Sudan, further stoking tensions between the Gulf country and authorities in the North African nation.

The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned the heinous attack that targeted the residence of the UAE Head of Mission in Khartoum by a Sudanese army aircraft, which resulted in extensive damage to the building. The UAE has called on the army to assume full responsibility for this cowardly act.

The Sudanese army on Monday rejected an accusation by the United Arab Emirates that its forces had bombed the residence of the UAE ambassador in Khartoum, blaming instead the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
