New Delhi, Aug. 8 -- The United Arab Emirates on Thursday denied claims by Sudan's armed forces that they had downed an Emirati aircraft allegedly transporting Colombian mercenaries to support the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Sudan has been mired in conflict between its military and the RSF since April 2023. The army has repeatedly accused the UAE of backing the RSF - allegations Abu Dhabi has consistently denied.

The UAE dismissed the latest claim as false and reaffirmed its neutral stance on the Sudan conflict.
