Drones struck the airport and targeted an army base in Port Sudan on Tuesday, officials said.
The strikes come a day after the country's main fuel depot was hit, causing a massive blaze just south of the eastern city, which had until Sunday been considered a safe-haven for hundreds of thousands of displaced people fleeing a two-year war.
An AFP correspondent reported loud explosions at dawn and plumes of smoke over the coastal city, one coming from the direction of the port and another from a fuel depot just south.
