Drones shatter months of relative calm in Khartoum, hit airport

Drones attacked Khartoum airport on Monday, part of a sudden barrage of assaults in the last few days that has shattered months of relative calm in Sudan's

capital three years into its civil war, witnesses said.



Strikes launched since Friday have hit military targets and civilian areas in a city where people, ministries and international agencies had started returning since the army retook control there in March 2025, residents told Reuters.



Khartoum International Airport - where some of the earliest fighting erupted between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in April 2023 - received its first international flight in three years last week.
