1 0 0 The Sudanese army on Wednesday denied reports that the country has been subjected to Israeli attack on Tuesday night.
Army spokesman Colonel Alswarmy Khalid Saad said in a statement to APA on Wednesday that there has been no attack on Sudanese territory for a long time.
Colonel Saad was responding to reports suggesting that Israeli jets had attacked targets inside the country including the Khalid Ibn Alwalid military base in the capital Khartoum.
Israel has repeatedly targeted what it believed to be Iranian weapons transported to the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas in the Gaza strip through Sudan.
Israeli jets had attacked the Red Sea State in Sudan in 2009.
The last attack was in October 2012, when Khartoum accused Israel of bombing the Sudanese military factory inside Khartoum.
Colonel Saad meanwhile later confirmed that the Sudanese army had shot down a strange flying object on Tuesday night.
At 10:45pm at local time our defence forces spotted a strange flying object in our airspace and after contacting the civil aviation authorities we were informed that there was no civilian plane in the area at that time, the statement said.
