Drone Attacks Threaten Reopening of Khartoum International Airport

 Aljazeera published on 21 October 2025 an article titled "Drone Attack in Sudan Threatens Khartoum Airport's Reopening: Reports" by Stephen Quillen.  

The Sudan Armed Forces planned to reopen for civilian flights the Khartoum international airport, which has been shut down since the outbreak of fighting with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in April 2023.  Recent drone attacks, almost certainly by the RSF, in the vicinity of the airport threaten to postpone the reopening.
