Two Chadian soldiers killed and one injured by drone attack on the border with Sudan

MADRID, December 27 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Chadian army announced that two of its soldiers were killed and a third injured by a drone attack on a military camp on the border with Sudan.

Without exactly identifying the culprit, he points the finger at the Sudanese “warring parties”, the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Generally speaking, the Chadian general staff described the incident as an incursion and promised reprisals.

In its press release, the Chadian army reports that the attack took place last Thursday 25 around 2:00 a.m. when “a drone attacked a military camp in the Tiné area, Wadi Fira province, killing two people and injuring one”.

Tiné is located exactly on the border between Chad and the western Sudanese province of North Darfur. More precisely, very close to the town of Karnoi, scene of fighting between the army and paramilitaries a few hours ago.

The Chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces, General Abakar Abdelkerim Daoud, denounced “this incursion on the national territory and condemns in the strongest terms this unjustified aggression against the position of the National Army and the territorial integrity of Chad.”

General Daoud “considers this act of hostility, reprehensible under international law, as an intentional and clearly deliberate attack and warns the belligerents in the Sudanese conflict”, whom he urges “to strictly respect the sovereignty of Chad”.

“The National Armed Forces of Chad reserve the right to respond with firmness and vigor, in self-defense, to any new violation of national territory, using all legal means and in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter,” underlines the press release signed by the spokesperson for the Chadian army, General Issakha Acheikh Chanane.
