Ukraine ‘likely’ behind attack on Wagner forces in Sudan — report
Ukrainian special services are likely responsible for a series of strikes on Wagner Group mercenary forces in Sudan, CNN reported on Sept. 19, citing a Ukrainian source.
The attacks occurred two days after the mercenaries delivered a large batch of weapons to Sudan, says the report.
A Ukrainian military source described the operation as the work of a "non-Sudanese military". When asked if Ukraine was behind the attacks, the source only responded that "Ukrainian special services were likely responsible."

A high-ranking Sudanese military source stated that they have "no knowledge of a Ukrainian operation in Sudan" and did not believe in Kyiv’s involvement.
