East Oweinat Airport in Egypt’s Western Desert, reportedly used to launch Turkish-made drones into Sudan, according to a US investigation

Egypt is launching Turkish-made drones from a military airbase in its Western Desert to strike targets inside Sudan, shifting from diplomatic mediation to direct involvement in the civil war, a new United States report has shown.

The base at East Oweinat Airport, 40 miles from the Sudan border, has operated for at least six months supporting the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to an investigation report published by The New York Times.
