Analysis Summary:

The article's claim about attacks on Port Sudan is partially verifiable. While the snippet mentions drone attacks on civilian areas, specific details like the fuel depot and hotel are not directly confirmed by the provided sources. The sources do confirm escalating violence in Sudan, particularly by the RSF, but focus on different locations and types of attacks. There's a moderate bias due to the limited scope and potential for selective reporting.

Detailed Analysis:
  • Claim:** Drones hit the civilian section of Port Sudan's airport, a fuel depot and a major hotel.
    • Verification Source #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5: These sources do not specifically mention drone attacks on Port Sudan's airport, fuel depot, or a major hotel. They do, however, confirm escalating attacks by the RSF in other parts of Sudan and the wider context of violence.
    • Internal Knowledge:* Without specific sources confirming the Port Sudan attack, it's difficult to assess the accuracy of the specific targets mentioned.
Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
