Sudan and Ethiopia traded accusations after a drone attack on the war-torn nation’s capital, Khartoum, that’s ratcheted up tensions between the African neighbors.

The army-aligned Sudanese government will recall its ambassador to Ethiopia for consultations, Foreign Minister Mohieddin Salem was cited as saying by the state-run SUNA news agency on Tuesday. He said the move followed a raid on Khartoum’s international airport he alleged originated from Ethiopia.
