A drone attack struck the vicinity of Khartoum International Airport early Tuesday, one day before Sudanese authorities were due to reopen the facility for domestic flights for the first time in over two years, APA reports, citing Al Arabiya.
Eyewitnesses told AFP that they heard the sounds of drones over central and southern Khartoum and multiple explosions in the airport area between 4:00 and 6:00 am (0200-0400 GMT).
The airport has been shut since fighting erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), leaving vital infrastructure across the capital heavily damaged.
