In a troubling escalation of violence in Sudan, Khartoum International Airport has been targeted by drone strikes on the eve of its planned reopening. The rapid support forces (RSF) have conducted multiple drone attacks around the airport, resulting in significant delays to the resumption of domestic flights after a lengthy closure due to civil war. Witnesses report that these attacks have caused blackouts in areas of southeast Sudan and are contributing to heightened tensions in the region. Authorities are now evaluating the safety of air travel as further drone strikes threaten to derail the reopening plans.
