> Evidentiary report of the Republic of Sudan (Transitional Sovereignty Council, Advisory Board; Khartoum, October 2026) presenting forensic, geospatial and documentary evidence that armed drone attacks against Sudan are launched from Ethiopian territory. This site reproduces the report in full, with an interactive map and a searchable incident log.

Key facts as stated in the report:

- Consolidated casualties: 484 civilians killed or wounded, 176 Sudanese soldiers killed and 200 wounded.
- The flight-control computer of a long-range attack drone downed at Ad-Damazin on 20 September 2026 records a programmed take-off at 10.7220° N, 34.7662° E, near Gizen: 1.7 km inside Ethiopia. Its 134.04 km route enters Sudanese airspace about 10 km after take-off.
- Launch areas named: Asosa Airport (Benishangul-Gumuz), the Ethiopian side of the Kurmuk–Gizen border sector, and Bahir Dar Air Base (Amhara).
- Five strategic drones were shot down: three Bayraktar Akıncı (El Obeid 17 March, Ad-Damazin 23 May, Dindiro 23 August 2026) and two Bayraktar TB2 (Wad el-Mahi 12 October, Bikori 22 October 2026). Akıncı components carry Baykar plates with NCAGE code T9710 and individual serial numbers.
- Deadliest attack: Abu Shendi, Wad el-Mahi, 9 October 2026, 30 civilians killed (26 women, 4 children) and 100 wounded. On 19 October 2026 three children aged two to six were killed in Khartoum. On 26–27 October 2026 six power stations were put out of service.
- Independent corroboration cited: Reuters (10 February 2026) on an RSF training camp at Menge and a UAV ground-control station at Asosa Airport; Yale Humanitarian Research Lab (April and June 2026); Janes (30 October 2026); open-source monitoring of UAE-linked Il-76TD cargo flights at Asosa.

Sudan offers the wreckage, flight-control hardware and chain-of-custody records for independent examination under UN or AU auspices.
