Sudan's presidential guards shot down a drone that turned out to be monitoring a curfew put in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus, according to al-Sahya newspaper.
The guards shot down the drone when it flew over the home of the Sovereign Council President Lt Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Friday, al-Sahya adds.
A source told al-Sayha that the drone belonged to the security forces and was on a mission to monitor the night curfew and had strayed off course.
The curfew was imposed on Monday 23 March.
