The Israeli reconnaissance drone, which Sudan announced it had downed Wednesday over its territory, was targeting a store for weapons to the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, an unidentified source told the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Garida Friday.
The plane launched one missile out of six on the warehouse of weapons in the city of Omdurman, before it was detected and downed, the source added.
The Sudanese found out after tracking the plane's course the presence of an airport for such aircrafts in an African region, may be on the Sudanese territory, according to the source.
Sudanese armed forces spokesman Khaled al-Sawarmy had announced on Wednesday that the drone was downed in the state of Al-Bahr Al-Ahmar.
