JAKARTA - Khartoum International Airport in Sudan, which has been stalled for two years, will operate again in the near future, experiencing a drone strike on Tuesday, October 21 in the early hours of the morning.

Witnesses told AFP that they heard drones or drones above Khartoum Airport. The explosion was also heard in the airport area between 04.00 and 06.00 local time.

Khartoum Airport has been scheduled to reopen for domestic flights since it was closed due to the Sudanese army war and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group erupted in April 2023.

The war that caused vital infrastructure throughout the Sudanese capital was badly damaged.

Khartoum Airport has been relatively calm since the Sudanese military took control earlier this year, but drone attacks continue. RSF has repeatedly been accused of being the culprit, including accusations of targeting military and civilian infrastructure from afar.

An eyewitness added that another drone hit the northern Omdurman in the early hours of Tuesday, the area known as the location of several of Sudan's largest military installations.

No party has yet claimed responsibility for the attack and no information on casualties or damage has been released.
