Ethiopia's embassy in the Sudanese capital Khartoum came under attack with heavy weapons on Tuesday morning, the Ethiopian ambassador there has confirmed.
No casualties were reported in the attack but the embassy’s building was partially damaged, Yibeltal Ayimiro Alemu, the Ethiopian ambassador to Sudan, told the BBC.
The Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been fighting with the army since 15 April, has blamed the army for the attack.
The Sudanese army has not commented on the attack.
It is not the first time the Ethiopian embassy in Khartoum has been attacked.
An employee of the Ethiopian embassy in Sudan told the BBC that the embassy was attacked by an air strike three weeks ago wounding a security guard. It also shattered the windows of the embassy's building.
More than 5,000 people have died in the conflict and five million others displaced, according to the UN.
