The governor of the Red Sea state in Sudan issued a statement, on Tuesday, announcing a nighttime curfew in the city of Port Sudan.
The curfew starts from 11 pm to 5 am local time.

Port Sudan is the second largest Sudanese city after Khartoum, and is located on the Red Sea to the east of the country.
The city assumed great importance with the outbreak of the conflict in Sudan about a month and a half ago, as it became a headquarters for the evacuation of stranded people through its airport and port, and it is also a major shipping center.
Recently, the United Nations, some aid agencies, embassies, and departments of the Sudanese central government have moved their operations to Port Sudan, although there has been little unrest.
