Drones targeted army-held areas of eastern and southern Sudan for a fifth straight day Thursday as paramilitaries kept up their attacks on areas formerly regarded as safe, an army source said.

Attacks targeted the main naval base outside Port Sudan, seat of the army-backed government, as well as fuel depots in the southern city of Kosti, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
