A Sudanese paramilitary force heightened tensions by targeting the capital, Khartoum, and the primary airport with drones. This escalation comes just a day after the first commercial flight in years, spotlighting the ongoing conflict with Sudan's military.
The Sudanese military successfully intercepted the drones, with a military official, speaking anonymously, confirming zero damage. Neither the Rapid Support Forces nor the military officially acknowledged the attack.
This clash is a continuation of the war that erupted in 2023, reflecting the severe humanitarian crisis in Sudan as international agencies urge for a ceasefire and assistance for the embattled population.
