Overview

  • The airport's planned restart was postponed after attacks reported on Tuesday and again early Wednesday near Khartoum International Airport.
  • The first Badr Airlines domestic flight was delayed for at least several days, according to an airline source cited by Reuters.
  • Military and security sources said several drones were intercepted and reported minimal damage, with no verified casualty reports.
  • The facility has been shut since April 2023 and includes an air force base, making it a strategic target within the ongoing conflict.
  • Recent strikes were described as the third wave in a week, and RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo vowed to target airports used to support army operations.
