Sudan power station explosion leaves twin northern cities in dark

A devastating power outage plunged the northern Sudanese localities of Al-Dabba and Merowe into complete darkness for the fourth consecutive day.

Frightened residents reported hearing a massive explosion near the station shortly after spotting an unidentified drone flying overhead.

This destructive assault coincided with separate armed clashes inside the city, which tragically claimed eight lives and injured dozens more.

The ongoing electricity crisis now paralyzes the vital agricultural sector, deeply disrupting the fragile daily lives of local citizens.

The region faces frequent drone raids, echoing similar deadly strikes recorded in April 2025.

Authorities have offered no official explanation regarding the true extent of the structural damage inflicted upon the disabled station.
