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).

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 United Arab Emirates reacted with outrage on Monday after the home of its ambassador in war-torn Sudan was attacked and badly damaged.

The United Arab Emirates said early on Monday the residence of its ambassador in Khartoum was attacked by a Sudanese military aircraft, condemning it as a "heinous attack". The UAE's foreign ministry said in a statement that the attack on its ambassador's residence had caused extensive damage to the building.
