Sudan: Air strike kills two in Port Sudan

An air strike has destroyed a car near Sudan's city of Port Sudan on the Red Sea coast, killing its two passengers, local officials say.

They say vehicle was moving from the city's airport when the unknown plane carried out the raid.

There was no immediate word on the identity of the two victims. Security forces have now sealed the area, reports say.

So far no-one has claimed to have carried out the attack.

In 2009, the Sudanese authorities said a convoy of arms smugglers was hit by unidentified aircraft in Sudan's eastern Red Sea state, Reuters reports.

There was speculation at the time that the strike may have been carried out by Israel to stop weapons bound for Gaza.

Israel has not commented on the claims.
