A drone strike targeted the vicinity of Khartoum International Airport in Sudan’s capital on Tuesday, just one day before the airport was scheduled to resume domestic flights for the first time since the outbreak of war in 2023. Residents reported hearing explosions across multiple districts early in the morning, and unverified social media images appeared to depict a series of blasts. No casualties or damage have been confirmed, and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. This incident marks the third assault on the capital within a week, following strikes on two army bases in northwest Khartoum last week. The Sudan Tribune cited a security source stating that anti-aircraft defenses intercepted several drones after 04:00 local time, though details on damage remain unclear. The airport had been closed since April 2023, when fighting erupted between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which had seized control of the facility. Since the army regained Khartoum in March, the city has remained relatively calm, but the RSF has been accused of targeting civilian and military infrastructure from a distance. The conflict, which began as a power struggle between the army and the RSF, has since drawn in other armed groups and foreign backers, escalating into what the UN describes as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Tens of thousands have been killed, and millions displaced. Meanwhile, Port Sudan remains the country’s only operational international airport, though it has also faced drone attacks. The RSF has intensified efforts to capture el-Fasher, the army’s last stronghold in the western Darfur region, as the war continues to devastate the nation.
