Sudan army surrounds Khartoum airport and nearby areas
A satellite image taken on April 17, 2023 shows destroyed aircraft at the Khartoum International Airport. Violence erupted in Sudan on April 15 that year.
The Sudanese army is encircling Khartoum airport and surrounding areas, two military sources told Reuters on Wednesday, marking another gain in its two-year-old war with a rival armed group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Separately, Sudan’s army said in a statement it had taken control of the Tiba al-Hassanab camp in Jabal Awliya, describing this as the RSF’s main base in central Sudan and its last stronghold in Khartoum.
