Sudan's capital Khartoum, scene of a press conference at the President's Mansion.
Defense Minister Abdul Rashim stood behind the podium covered in a deep blue tablecloth, with two huge projection screens behind him.
The left showed radar records of US Army drone flight paths, while the right displayed infrared images of Sam-6 missiles launching into the sky.
"This is a blatant violation of Sudan's sovereignty!"
Rashim's voice echoed through the hall via the simultaneous interpretation system.
"We call upon the international community to condemn this violation of the UN Charter."
Flashlights became a sea of lights, the clicks of shutters ringing out continuously.
A Reuters reporter raised his hand to ask, "Minister, there are reports that the drone was shot down by a private military company called 'Musician' and not the Sudan Government Army. What is your comment on this?"
