Sudan prime minister Abdalla Hamdok says he survived a terror attack in Khartoum after an explosion and gunfire targeted his motorcade near Kober Bridge. State media and officials confirm injuries were minor while protesters chanted support for Hamdok. The blast underscores Sudan’s fragile civilian transition amid a military-led government and stalled handover of power. International figures condemned the attack and offered support, with Egypt and the U.N. stressing unity and investigation.
