Drones target Khartoum airport, Sudan alleges Ethiopian involvement

Sudan has widened its accusations over the drone attack on Khartoum International Airport, saying Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates were involved in the strike and recalling its ambassador to Addis Ababa.

Sudan's armed forces said the drone attack targeted the airport on Monday and was intercepted by air defenses before causing damage or casualties. Reuters reported that Sudan later accused Ethiopia and the UAE of involvement. AP also reported that Sudan accused Ethiopia of launching drone attacks and said the ambassador was recalled.

Ethiopia rejected the allegations and called them baseless. Other reporting said Sudan's military initially described the drone as having been launched from a neighboring country, while Sudan later said the attack was linked to Ethiopian territory.

The dispute has now moved beyond the airport itself and into a broader diplomatic confrontation. For now, the key questions are whether Sudan will publish more evidence and whether Ethiopia or the UAE responds with further formal statements.
