Drones target Khartoum airport, Sudan alleges Ethiopian involvement

Sudan has accused Ethiopia of involvement in drone strikes on Khartoum International Airport, escalating a dispute over the attack into a diplomatic row.

The accusation came after drones targeted the airport on May 4. Officials said the drone was intercepted or caused no casualties, and at least one report said flights were briefly suspended or the airport was checked as a precaution.

Sudan later recalled its ambassador to Ethiopia. Sudanese officials said they had evidence linking some drone strikes since March 1 to Ethiopia's Bahir Dar airport. Ethiopia denied the accusation.

The latest claims add another layer to Sudan's wider conflict, where responsibility for drone attacks has been contested and reporting has pointed in different directions, including allegations involving the RSF.

For now, the central question is whether Sudan will publish more evidence for its claims and whether the dispute with Ethiopia leads to further diplomatic or military fallout.
