Drone Strikes in Sudan's Capital Escalate Tensions Amid War

A Sudanese paramilitary group launched a drone attack on the capital, Khartoum, and its airport, escalating the ongoing conflict with the military. The Rapid Support Forces' attack coincides with calls from international organizations for urgent humanitarian aid in Sudan, where 30 million people need assistance.

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.
