Sudan's Khartoum targeted by RSF drones for third day after airport reopens
Sudan's Khartoum targeted by RSF drones for third day after airport reopens The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have targeted Sudan's capital Khartoum and its main airport with drones, a day after the first passenger flight in two years landed in the city amid the civil war. The government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) intercepted the drones on Thursday, which caused no damage, a military official who spoke on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press news agency. The RSF and SAF did not immediately acknowledge the attack. The airport has come under repeated drone attacks blamed on the RSF since Tuesday. Al Jazeera's Hiba Morgan said "both sides seem to be stepping up the use of drones, with the RSF using them here in the capital, Khartoum, to target facilities such as the airport".
